High-Quality Litter and Exogenous Cellulase Enhance Soil Nutrient Cycling and Enzymatic Activities

Agriculture
Litter decomposition is important for soil nutrient cycling, but how the quality of litter links to nutrient dynamics is still unclear. In this work, high-quality Populus alba × P.

ECONOMIC RETURNS FROM REDUCING POULTRY LITTER PHOSPHORUS WITH MICROBIAL PHYTASE [PDF]

Requiring that crop applications of manure be based on phosphorus content (P-standard) could increase poultry litter disposal costs. Microbial phytase reduces litter P content and could reduce litter disposal costs under a P-standard.
