| | Conservation 2000 - Effective Utilization of Injected Swine Effluent (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07) |
 | | During the first year of a three-year project a continuous, long term, swine effluent study was used to evaluate the crop and soils response to injected swine effluent at rates of (0, 2,000, 4,000, and 8,000 gal/A) and a conventional fertilizer rate that is nutrient-equivalent to the 8,000 gal/A effluent rate. |
 | | Effluent was obtained from a pit beneath a swine confinement feeding operation. |
 | | The 1997 effluent concentration was equivalent to an application of 55 lbs/A of 0-0-60 (potash) per 1,000 gallons of effluent or 440 lbs/A of 0-0-60 at the 8,000 gal/A rate. |
