| Abstract/Contents: | "In 2006 an estimated 19,000 metric tons of squid (Loligo pealei) was landed off of the Atlantic coast according to the Rhode Island Division of Fish and Wildlife. This amount of squid results in a large amount of byproduct which is not presently usable. Currently, the squid byproduct is going through a bioconversion process into squid hydrosolate. Squid hydrolysate may be used as an organic fertilizer in either liquid or granular form. Research at the University of Rhode Island focuses on determining the effectiveness of this new fertilizer. THis study involves two separate plots and two different species of grass: kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) 22.4 ft2 trials, and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) 25 ft2 trials. Nineteen total products replicated four times at different rate will be employed comparing squid hydrolysate to different organic fertizilers. Both liquid and granular products will be applied ranging from 1 to 6 pounds of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet, per year. Turf quality, color and clipping weight will be analyzed, along with soil and pore water. Soil will be analyzed for moisture content, pH, available nitrogen, phophorous and potassium, microbial biomass and activity, along with heavy metals, organic matter and total organic carbon and nitrogen. Pore water will be collected at a depth of two feet to determine the nitrate and phosphate levels. This experiment will take place over the course of two years." |
