Description
Manure feeds soil but washes into waterways when rain follows, and a 2024 study by Chhabi Raj and co-authors measured the trade off under a rain machine. Trays of clay loam soil got chicken litter or liquid pig manure at rising rates, then three one inch rain events spread over three weeks.
Runoff volume fell at the highest rates, yet losses of nitrate, dissolved phosphorus, and solids peaked there too. The pattern held for both manure types across the three storms. The authors frame the work for farmers and regulators who must set application rates that feed crops without fouling streams.
