Participants will learn about several technologies that help address issues with excess phosphorus when animal manures are used in agricultural production systems.
Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for plant growth. It is also found in animal manures. For this reason, animal manures have been used through land application to provide valuable nutrients and organic matter to the soil for crop production. Unfortunately, the nutrient balance in animal manures (specifically nitrogen and phosphorus) do not typically match crop requirements. In many cases, excess phosphorus is applied when manure application is based on crop nitrogen needs. This webinar will provide an overview of various technologies - from both the farmstead and land application areas - that help deal with this nutrient imbalance by focusing on ways to address the issue of excess phosphorus.
This webinar is presented by the USDA NRCS East National Technology Support Center.
