Q

A farmer has a 7-year rotation of corn, soybeans, and wheat and 4 years of alfalfa. Manure will be applied before corn and wheat and before seeding to alfalfa. The initial soil test results indicate total phosphorus level of 48 kg P · hectare−1. Manure is to be surface-applied in mid-March and disk-incorporated within 2 days of application. One-third of the organic nitrogen and 50% of
the nitrogen from NH4 is available to the corn crop. To obtain the desired yield of corn, the local extension agent has told the farmer to apply 100 kg of nitrogen per hectare.
* Total N = 12 g N · (kg manure)−1
* Organic N = 6gN · (kg manure)−1
* NH4 = 6gN · (kg manure)−1
* Total P2O5 = 5gP · (kg manure)−1
* Total K2O = 4gK · (kg manure)−1
Calculate the available nitrogen per kilogram of manure and the kilograms of manure per hectare that must be applied to meet the corn’s nitrogen needs.

Q

A landfill with a gas collection system is in operation and serves a population of 200,000. MSW is generated at a rate of 1.95 kg · (capita)−1 · day−1. Gas is produced at an annual rate of 6.2 L · kg−1 of MSW delivered to the landfill. The gas contains 55% methane. Gas recovery is 15% of that generated.
