Abstract

Forage crops play an important role in removing P and N from poultry litter-amended soils there byminimizing environmental pollution. A three year study was conducted at Crossville, AL to compare dry matter yield and total P and N removal efficiencies by forage crops from a poultry litter-amended soil. Forage crops including alfalfa (Medicago sativa, L.), rye (Secalecereale, L.), corn (Zea mays, L.), sorghum-sudangrass (Sorghum bicolor, L.) cv. Unigraze II, tall fescue (Festucaarundinacea, L.) cv. KY31, and Russell bermudagrass (Cynodondactylon, L.) were investigated. The soil type at the site was a Hartsells fine sandy loam (fine-loamy, siliceous, thermic TypicHapludults).
