Poultry production provides 0^ COLLEGE PARK, Md. As the price of commercial fertilizer rockets through the roof, com farmers may need look no further than their local poultry processing .plant and broiler production houses for another source of nitrogen. Researchers for the Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station (MAES) have completed a two year series of studies using poultry wastewater sludge and broiler house litter material as alternative sources of nitrogen fertilizer for com production. They unveiled harvest figures at a field day demonstration at MAES’s Poplar Hill Research Farm -near Salisbury Friday, yesterday. Long recognized as another source of nitrogen, poultry processing waste and broiler house litter now have been found to produce corn yields that surpass in €•) '■— Each package contains 16 Ready-to-Use Rat-Bait Traps AUGERS 4 By MJM J • Includes spout & head 4 ,, x11’ . 4"xl6' 6”xll’ 6”xie’ 8”xll’ B”xl6’ •v • • • fertilizer alternative many cases those produced by commercial fertilizer, says MAES researchers. “The steadily iiicreasing'cost of commercial fertilizer has tran sformed the waste from broiler production and processing into a valuable resource,” says. Lewis E. Carr,* Maryland Extension agricultural engineer for poultry production and processing. Carr says research plots treated in 1980 with wastewater sludge from poultry processing plants yielded a harvest average of 123 bushels of com per acre, compared to 91 bushels harvested from plots treated with commercial fertilizer. This year, tests included broiler house litter material as well as wastewater sludge, according to Carr. Harvest results for 1981 are expected to show the same gains over commercial fertilizer as those reported in 1980.
