“…Historically, the most common use for this poultry litter has been land application to pastures. However, poultry litter can serve as a relatively inexpensive nutrient source for crop production (Nyakatawa and Reddy, 2002; Moss et al, 2001). Research has shown that poultry litter use with cropping systems under conservation tillage can increase soil organic matter content of eroded southeastern soils (Edwards et al, 1992; Watts et al, 2010).…”

Reduced tillage, poultry litter applications, crop rotations, and winter cover cropping are management practices that could be used with conservation tillage systems to increase yields compared to conventional monoculture systems. Th is study evaluated cropping sequences of corn (Zea mays L.), soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], and corn-soybean rotations with wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) covers in conventional, strip, and no-tillage (no-till) systems, following poultry litter additions to wheat cover. Th e study was conducted from 1991 to 2001 on a Hartsells fi ne sandy loam (fi ne-loamy, siliceous, subactive, thermic Typic Hapludults). Poultry litter (112 kg N ha −1 ) was applied to wheat each year in fall. Wheat not receiving poultry litter received equivalent inorganic N. Corn was fertilized with inorganic fertilizer in spring with 56 kg N ha −1 at planting followed by 168 kg N ha −1 3 wk aft er emergence; soybean received no fertilizer. Corn yields were infl uenced by tillage in Crop rotations increased corn yield for all years, except 2001. Soybean yields were not impacted by diff erences in tillage. Crop rotations signifi cantly impacted soybean yield in 1992, 1995, and 1998, with higher yields observed in 1992, and 1995, and lower yields in 1998. Poultry litter signifi cantly increased soybean yield 8 of the 9 yr evaluated. Th is study suggests that poultry litter use for these crop rotations in conservation tillage systems could increase sustainable yield production.

“…The final height and total DMY of sorghum and maize in 2002 were influenced by levels of manure application. Moss et al . (2001) reported that the growth and DMY of crops increased with rise of manure in the first and second year of their experiment.…”

The effects of three levels of manure application (0, 4 and 8 ton/10 a) with basic fertilizer (N : P : K = 10:10:10 kg/10 a) on the yield and chemical composition of maize (Pioneer 32K61) and sorghum (FS501) forages were examined in 2 successive years, 2001–2002. Maize was harvested at yellow ripe stage, while sorghum at dough stage. Dry matter yield (DMY) of sorghum was significantly higher than that of maize in both 2001 and 2002. Although, DMY of both sorghum and maize were not significantly affected by manure levels in 2001, they increased with the level of manure in 2002. Maize had higher levels of crude protein (CP) and lower crude fiber concentration than those of sorghum in both 2001 and 2002. Manure application had no effect on chemical compositions of both maize and sorghum except for CP in both years and organic a fraction (Oa) concentration in 2002. The higher manure application might have greater effects on sorghum and maize production because of higher DMY in the second year without any increase in fiber fraction.

“…The content of nutrients and energy value of corn silage is biologically determined by the ratio of the stem, leaves and ears (grain) in the dry matter of hybrids, the level of fertilization, climatic conditions in the year of production, stage of maturity and silage technology, and content and digestibility of starch and fiber (Bal et al, 2000., Moss et al, 2001.). Johnson et al (1999.…”
