| Abstract/Contents: | Montana State University devised a study to evaluate the effects of two types of composted residuals - EKO compost and Bozeman compost - and a commercial nitrogen fertilizer on plant establishment, cover and production over two growing seasons. Both the EKO and Bozeman compost were applied at two rates: 76Mg/ha and 152Mg/ha. The ammonium nitrate fertilizer was applied at rates equivalent to the nitrogen present in composts. According to Vodenhal, "The EKO compost and Bozeman municipal lawn trimmings compost produced beneficial effects on plant density, cover and production. Plots treated with two heavy rates of commercial nitrogen fertilizer and plots receiving unamended topsoil had significantly lower plant growth impact." Futhermore, "Incorporating the compost 7.5 cm into the surface horizon produced significantly greater vegetative response during the second growing season than surface applications. Surface applied compost was prone to erosion and failed to alleviate a soil crusting problem at the Basin Creek Mine. Total grass cover and production were greatest with incorporated EKO compsot. Forb cover and production were significantly higher on plots which Bozeman compost was incorporated." |
