Sludge Stabilization Process, Drying Depth and Polymeric Material Addition: Implication on Nitrogen Content, Selected Chemical Properties and Land Requirement in Sand Drying Beds Open

Taruvinga Badza, Eyob Habte Tesfamariam, Craig Cogger · 2020

Drying beds are a simple and economical means to dewater municipal sludge and are widely used in places with a suitable climate for air-drying. However, research-based information on drying thickness/drying depth effects on nutrient conten…

Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Fraction Accumulation with Long‐Term Biosolids Applications Open

William L. Pan, Lauren E. Port, Yong Xiao, Andy I. Bary, Craig Cogger · 2017

Core Ideas Biosolids N contribute to wheat grain and soil N. Applied biosolids contain light fraction and non‐hydrolyzable C and N. Biosolids C efficiently increased soil C at 0.91 Mg C in soil per Mg C in added biosolids. Buildup of non‐h…

Raised beds : will they benefit your vegetable garden? Open

Craig Cogger · 2017

Many vegetable gardeners use raised beds, but other gardeners successfully grow fruit and vegetables directly in native soil. Which system is best for you? This publication will describe the uses of raised beds and weigh their benefits and…

Potential carbon sequestration and nitrogen cycling in long-term organic management systems Open

Arnab Bhowmik, Ann‐Marie Fortuna, Larry Cihacek, Andy I. Bary, Patrick M. Carr , et al. · 2017

The fertility and soil health of organic agroecosystems are determined in part by the size and turnover rate of soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) pools. Our research contrasts the effects of best management practices (BMP) (reduction in soi…

Urban Highway Roadside Soils and Shrub Plantings Enhanced by Surface-Applied and Incorporated Organic Amendments Open

Andy I. Bary, Rita L. Hummel, Craig Cogger · 2016

Degraded, highly compacted soils along roadsides present an inhospitable environment for trees and shrubs and lead to the failure of urban landscapes. Developing and testing practices to ameliorate urban soils, thereby improving plant grow…

Fertilizing farmland with yard trimmings from landscape maintenance Open

Andy I. Bary, Dan M. Sullivan, Craig Cogger · 2016

Application of yard trimmings to agricultural land is an alternative to composting yard trimmings during the spring and early summer months. Most yard trimmings are a beneficial soil amendment because they are a good source of plant nutrie…

Fertilizing with manure and other organic amendments Open

Andy I. Bary, Dan M. Sullivan, Craig Cogger · 2016

Are you thinking about using manure to fertilize your farm but want more information? Properly managed manure applications recycle nutrients to crops, improve soil quality, and protect water quality. From deciding whether manure is right f…

Influence of Seeding Ratio, Planting Date, and Termination Date on Rye-Hairy Vetch Cover Crop Mixture Performance under Organic Management Open

Andrew Lawson, Craig Cogger, Andy I. Bary, Ann‐Marie Fortuna · 2015

Cover crop benefits include nitrogen accumulation and retention, weed suppression, organic matter maintenance, and reduced erosion. Organic farmers need region-specific information on winter cover crop performance to effectively integrate …

Soil Parameter Mapping and Ad Hoc Power Analysis to Increase Blocking Efficiency Prior to Establishing a Long‐Term Field Experiment Open

Doug Collins, Chris A. Benedict, Andy I. Bary, Craig Cogger · 2015

The spatial heterogeneity of soil and weed populations poses a challenge to researchers. Unlike aboveground variability, below‐ground variability is more difficult to discern without a strategic soil sampling pattern. While blocking is com…
