“…Applying agricultural lime or PCC above rates of 10 to 15 Mg ha -1 would be difficult and expensive. Based on this data and other reports (Brantner et al, 2015;Bredehoeft et al, 2013;Christenson et al, 2000;Giles and Smith, 2005;Sims et al, 2010;Windels et al, 2008), we concluded that rates for future field studies should be less than 25 to 30 Mg ha -1. Moreover, optimization of PCC application rate would help producers reduce application costs and possibly increase the overall profitability.…”

“…This is a concern with current EPA regulations on particulate matter as part of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (https://www.epa.gov/pm-pollution/table-historical-particulate-matter-pm-national-ambient-air-quality-standards-naaqs).PCC has been effectively used in production agricultural as a liming source replacement for agricultural lime. In the Red River Valley (RRV) and southern MN it has generally had a beneficial effect on growth and yield (Brantner et al, 2015a;Bredehoeft et al, 2013;Giles and Smith, 2005;Windels et al, 2008). It has also been shown to reduce Aphanomyces severity (Brantner et al, 2015b;Lien et al, 2015;Windels et al, 2006).…”

Storage and management of large piles of precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) from sugarbeet processing are a challenge in the western US. Potential uses of this product on surrounding agricultural lands in western NE, eastern WY and northeast CO requires an evaluation of chemical and agronomic impacts of PCC on soils and crop growth. A preliminary greenhouse study was conducted in Scottsbluff, NE using 10 soils from the 3 states. Soils were mixed with 11, 22, 33 and 44 Mg ha -1 rates of PCC to test the early plant growth of sugarbeet, corn, and dry bean in addition to determining soil chemical characteristics. Chemical analysis of PCC from the three processing factories indicates that PCC provides some nitrogen and phosphorus, in addition to some iron, depending on rate. Application of four rates of PCC to neutral to slightly alkali soils neither improved nor negatively impacted the soil chemical characteristics. Dry matter of the three crops after 7 weeks showed no significant effects of PCC. Future utilization of PCC in this region will require further research based on longterm investigations of possible effects of PCC on soil chemical characteristics and plant growth under field conditions.

“…PCC has been effectively used in production agriculture as a liming source in lieu of agricultural lime. In the Red River Valley (RRV) and southern MN, it has generally had a beneficial effect on growth and yield [2,3,9,10]. In MI as well, PCC significantly increased sugar beet yield [11].…”

Agronomic Utilization of Precipitated Calcium Carbonate—Effect of PCC on Sugar Beet Root Aphid Control and Herbicide Dose Response of Kochia Grown on PCC Piles

et al. 2020

Agricultural use of precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), a byproduct of sugar clarification process, as a possible source of nutrients and pest and disease control in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris.) needs a careful examination of the risk and benefit assessment at various levels of management and production. A series of controlled environment studies were conducted in Scottsbluff, NE, to assess the 1) effect of PCC on root aphids in sugar beet, and 2) risk of the weed kochia spreading by applying PCC to agricultural land and its chemical control strategy, by conducting various dose-response studies. A replicated lab study was conducted twice to determine the effect of PCC on root aphid in sugar beet using three rates of PCC (9, 18, and 27 Mg ha−1) and a control. The results showed that root aphid populations in all PCC-amended treatments were significantly reduced when compared to the control (p < 0.05). Two cycles of dose-response studies using the herbicides Roundup and Clarity at 6 concentrations revealed that kochia biotypes grown on PCC piles at three western sugar production locations were effectively controlled (LD50) with the current rate recommendations administered in this region for both herbicides. More field experiments are needed to confirm the results of these controlled environment studies.
