The effects of elemental sulfur and hog manure on a solonetzic soil

Dormer,S.G. 1997. M.Sc. Thesis. Dept. Soil Science, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK

Abstract

When hog manure is added to a soil, it affects the chemical and physical conditions of that soil. This paper describes a study examining how adding hog manure, by itself and in combination with elemental sulfur, affects the availability of nutrients in the soil and how this impacts on yield. The effect that these treatments have on soil structure and possible remediation effects in Solonetzic soils will also be discussed briefly.
