High return per acre

significantly more efficient, the
cost is surprisingly low.

Disposal rates of manure
slurry ranged from 120 to 600
tons per acre yearly (or
three years. The lowest rate
supplied 700 pounds of
nitrogen per acre per year.
Two years after the ap
plication were discoun
tinued, the Penn State
scientists sill found nitrate
nitrogen in the soil water in
excess of 10 milligrams per
liter, the potable water
standard. This was found at
a depth of 4 feet where the
lowest rate has been applied.
The Penn Staters did find
that more modest levels of
manure slurry contributed
relatively low amounts of
nitrate to groundwater. Fifty
to 80 tons of slurry per acre,
supplying 300 to 500 pounds
of nitrogen per acre, were
injected under orchardgrass
sod in November 1973 or in
April 1974 to compare fall
and spring applications.
Nitrate nitrogen from the
fall application had moved
down 4 feet in soil water by
June of 1974 but remained
near the potable standard of
10 milligrams per liter after
July. The nitrate nitrogen
