3 INTRODUCTION Biosolids recycling on dryland winter wheat (Triticum aestivum, L.) can supply a reliable, slow-release source of nitrogen (N) (Barbarick et al., 1992). Barbarick and Ippolito (2000, 2007) found that continuous application of biosolids from the Littleton/Englewood, CO wastewater treatment facility to dryland winter wheat-fallow rotations provides about 16 lbs N per dry ton. This research involved tilling the biosolids into the top 8 of soil. A question related to soil management in a biosolids beneficial-use program is: How much N would be available if the biosolids were surface-applied in a no-till dryland agroecosystem with winter wheat-fallow (W) and winter wheat-corn (Zea mays, L.)-fallow (WC) crop rotations? Our objective was to compare agronomic rates of commercial N fertilizer to an equivalent rate of biosolids in combination with W and WC crop rotations. Our hypotheses were that biosolids addition, compared to N fertilizer, would: 1. Produce similar crop yields; 2. Not differ in grain P, Zn, and Cu levels; 3. Not differ in soil P, Zn, and Cu AB-DTPA extractable concentrations, a measure of plant availability (Barbarick and Workman, 1987); and 4. Not affect soil salinity (electrical conductivity of saturated soil-paste extract (EC), ph or soil accumulation of nitrate-n (NO3-N). MATERIALS AND METHODS In 1999, we established the experiment on land owned by the Cities of Littleton and Englewood (L/E) in eastern Adams County, approximately 28 miles east of Byers, CO The latitude longitude for the plot corners are 39⁰ /103⁰47 50 (southwest), 39⁰ /103⁰47 17 (southeast), 39⁰ 46 7 /103⁰47 50 (northwest), 39⁰ 46 7 /103⁰47 17 (northeast). The Linnebur family manages the farming operations for L/E. Soils belong to the Adena-Colby association where the Adena soil is classified as an Ustollic Paleargid and Colby is classified as an Ustic Torriorthent. No-till management is used in conjunction with crop rotations of W and WC. We originally also included a wheat-wheat-corn-sunflower (Helianthus annuus, L.)-fallow rotation, but after the 2004 growing season, we abandoned this rotation because of persistent droughty conditions that restricted sunflower production. We installed a Campbell Scientific weather station at the site in April 2000; Tables 1 and 2 present mean temperature and precipitation data, and growing season precipitation, respectively. The first biosolids application occurred in August Planting sequences are given in Table 3. We used a randomized complete block design with four blocks. Each phase of each rotation was present every year. Each plot was 100 feet wide by approximately 0.5 mile (2640
4 feet) long. The width of each plot was split so that one 50-foot wide section received commercial N fertilizer applied with the seed and sidedressed after plant establishment (Table 3), and the second 50-foot wide section received biosolids applied by L/E with a manure spreader. We randomly selected which half of the strip in each rotation received N fertilizer or biosolids. Characteristics of the L/E biosolids are provided in Table 4. The N fertilizer and biosolids applications were based on soil test recommendations determined on each plot before planting each crop. The Cities of L/E completed biosolids application for wheat in August 1999, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2012, 2013, and 2014 for the summer crops in March 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2012, 2013, 2014, and We planted the first corn crop in May We also established wheat rotations in September 2000 through 2014 and corn rotations in May 2001 through 2014, and sunflower plantings in June 2001, 2002, and Soil moisture was inadequate in June 2004 to plant sunflowers (see Table 1); hence, the sunflower portion of the study was abandoned in At harvest, we cut biomass from four rows, approximately 3 foot long within each subplot. The wheat was then threshed and dried. We determined the yield for each area and then took a subsample from each cutting for subsequent grain protein or N, P, Zn, and Cu analyses (Huang and Schulte, 1985). ollowing each harvest, we collected soil samples using a Giddings hydraulic probe. We sampled to one foot and separated the samples into 0-2, 2-4, 4-8, and 8-12 inch depth increments for AB-DTPA extractable Cu, P, and Zn (Barbarick and Workman, 1987) and EC (Rhoades, 1996) and ph (Thomas, 1996). or soil NO3-N (Mulvaney, 1996) analyses, we sampled to 6 feet and separated the samples into 0-2, 2-4, 4-8, 8-12, 12-24, 24-36, 36-48, 48-60, and inch depth increments. The experimental design was a split-plot design where type of rotation was the main plot and type of nutrient addition (commercial N fertilizer versus L/E biosolids) was the subplot. or crop yields and soil-sample analyses, main plot effects, subplot effects, and interactions were tested for significance using least significant difference (LSD) at the 0.10 probability level. Since we only had one corn rotation, we could only compare the commercial N versus L/E biosolids using a t test at the 0.10 probability level.
5 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION itation Data Tables 1 and 2 present the monthly precipitation records from the time we established the weather station at the Byers research site. The plots received more than 11 of total annual rainfall in 2000, 2001, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2014, and 2015, between 5 and 6 in 2002 and 2012, about 12 in 2003, 10 in 2004, 2005, and 2010, 9 in 2006, and about 8 in itation received as snow is not recorded, thus the amounts reported are an underestimate of the annual total. The critical precipitation months for corn are July and August (Nielsen et al., 2010). The Byers site received 6.0, 3.8, 1.3, 2.6, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.4, 7.4, 4.4, 3.9, 5.2, 1.3, 5.2, and 4.4 of precipitation in July and August 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015, respectively Crop Grain Data The rotation by nutrient source interaction was significant for wheat yields with the biosolids treatment in WC producing the largest yields (igure 1). The treatments did not significantly affect 2014 corn yields (Table 5). Average wheat yield for our treatments was 39 bushels/acre while the Colorado state average was 37 bushels/acre (USDA NASS Colorado ield Office, 2015). The 2014 corn yields averaged 76 bushels/acre; 11 of rain were received during the corn growing season (Table 2). The 2014 corn yield averaged 76 bushels/acre; 11 of rain were received during the corn growing season (Table 2). Even with the higher yield for the WC rotation there was a non-significant effect on the wheat protein content (igure 2) that averaged 16% protein. The rotation, nutrient source, and the rotation by nutrient source interaction did not have an effect on wheat grain P (igure 3) or Zn (igure 4). Wheat grain Cu concentration was statistically higher with the use of N fertilizer than biosolids. The 2014 corn grain yield, protein, P, Zn, and Cu were not affected by any of the treatments (igure 5 and Table 5) Soil Data In the wheat phase of each rotation, biosolids addition had no effect on AB-DTPA P (igure 6) or soil ph (igure 10) in the top 12 of soil. The addition of biosolids resulted in higher AB-DTPA Zn (igure 7) and Cu (igure 8) in the 0 to 2-inch depth. Soil EC (salinity) in the 4 to 8-inch depth was higher for the W rotation than the WC rotation (igure 9). Soil NO3-N was only significantly different in the top 2 with both a treatment and rotation effect. The addition of biosolids and the W rotation had a higher concentration of NO3-N. There were no other consistent trends in the data. The 2014 corn phase of the rotation there were elevated concentrations of AB-DTPA extractable P, Zn, and Cu in the top 2 of soil (Table 6) with the application of biosolids.
6 There was also higher AB-DTPA Cu in the 2-4 in depth range (Table 6). Soil ph was not affected by the nutrient source (Table 6). The EC (salinity) of the soil increased with biosolids application for in the top 2 of soil and from 8 to 12 (Table 6). The addition of biosolids resulted in higher concentrations of soil NO3-N in the 4 to 8, 12 to 24, and 36 to 48 inch depth ranges (Table 6). These higher concentrations with depth are mostly due to the higher rainfall in the last several years moving soil NO3-N deeper into the soil profile.
7 CONCLUSIONS Relative to our hypotheses listed on page 3, we observed the following trends: 1. In the 2015 wheat, biosolids did not significantly affect grain concentrations of protein P, or Zn. There was a fertilizer source by rotation effect on wheat yield and the addition of N fertilizer elevated grain Cu concentrations. or the 2014 corn there was no effect of biosolids addition on yield, or grain concentration of protein, P, or Zn. 2. or dryland wheat in 2015, biosolids additions did not increase soil AB-DTPA extractable P, but there was an increase in soil levels of AB-DTPA extractable Zn and Cu in the top 2. or the 2014 corn the addition of biosolids increased the AB-DTPA extractable P, Zn, and Cu in the top 2 of soil and Cu in the 2 to 4-inch depth. 3. The W rotation had a higher EC (salinity) in the 4 to 8 of soil. There was an increase in EC (salinity) in the corn plots with biosolids application in the top 2 and from 8 to The wheat plots did not accumulate NO3-N in the profile below the top 2. However, following the 2014 corn plots there were accumulations of NO3-N from 24 to 48 in biosolids treatments. 5. The results discussed in items 1 through 3 are similar to a majority of our past findings.
