Abstract/Contents:"Because of concerns regarding the contribution of organic matter and other material to sand-based rootzones through the application of high organic matter commercial fertilizers, researchers at the Pennsylvania State University examined the effect of applications of a few commonly available organic fertilizers to the saturated hydraulic conductivity of a USGA rootzones. The study's findings include: The application of large quantities of the fertilizers used in this study or the ash produced from these fertilizers had no effect on the saturated hydraulic conductivity of a USGA-specified rootzone. A significant portion of the ash produced from these organic fertilizers was water soluble or in the case of Milorganite and Sustane, sand-sized particles. The traditional method to determine particle size distribution through sedimentation is not an appropriate method to determine the particle size of organic fertilizers or the ash produced from these fertilizers because much of the material is soluble in water."
