Chemical Extraction of Phosphorus from Dairy Manure and Utilization of Recovered Manure Solids

open access: yesAgronomy, 2020
Repeated land application of dairy manure can increase soil phosphorus above crop requirements because of manure’s low nitrogen (N) to phosphorus (P) ratio (N:P < 4:1). This soil P build-up can lead to off-site P transport and impairment of surface water
