Abstract
Optimal utilization of animal manures as a plant nutrient source should also prevent adverse impacts on water quality The objective of this study was to evaluate longterm poultry litter and N fertilizer application on nutrient cycling following establishment of an alley cropping system with eastern black walnut Juglans nigra L pecan Carya illinoensis Wangenh K Koch and northern red oak Quercus rubra L trees and orchardgrass Dactylis glomerata L One half of a 425ha site in northwestern Arkansas USA received broadcast applications of 39–67 Mg ha−1 fresh poultry litter and the other half 50–76 kg ha−1 N as NH4NO3 fertilizer each spring from 2001 to 2008 Macronutrient N P K Ca Mg and S and micronutrient Na Fe Mn Zn and Cu concentrations in soil forage and tree leaf tissue were monitored along with NO3N in soil water and groundwater Poultry litter application resulted in significantly increased concentrations of each macronutrient except S with increases from 63 N to 121 P Nitrogen fertilizer application resulted in decreased concentrations from 21 N to 609 S for all macronutrients except Ca Patterns of nutrient content in forage and tree leaf tissue did not generally follow patterns of soil nutrient concentrations suggesting nutrient sufficiency in most years and that climate and plant growth had a greater effect on nutrient uptake Soil P with litter application increased 413 mg kg−1 over 7 years from 341 to 754 which may necessitate a lower litter application rate to avoid excessive P runoffThe authors are grateful to Paul Doi Amy Morrow Anna Myhre and Kevin Jensen National Laboratory for Agriculture and the Environment Nancy Wolf Univ of Arkansas Agricultural Diagnostics Lab Tammy Horton Dale Bumpers Small Farms Research Center Amanda Pirani Univ of Arkansas Dept of Crop Soil and Environmental Sciences and Robert Rhein Dr Keith Lusby and Dr Dirk Philipp Univ of Arkansas Dept of Animal Science for their assistance in completion of this study Financial support from the US Forest Service and Natural Resources Conservation Service is also gratefully acknowledged
