Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Science
  • Environmental Chemistry
  • Soil Science

Background:

  • Poultry litter is a nutrient-rich amendment for agricultural land.
  • Land application of poultry litter can lead to trace element accumulation in soil, water, and plants.
  • Understanding trace element dynamics is crucial for sustainable agriculture and environmental protection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify trace element concentrations in soils with a history of poultry litter application.
  • To compare trace element levels in manured fields versus control fields.

Main Methods:

  • Soil samples were collected from agricultural farms in Wicomico County, MD.
  • Nitric acid extraction was used for soil sample preparation.
  • Atomic absorption spectrophotometry determined concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, Mn, Pb, and Zn.

Main Results:

  • Arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), and manganese (Mn) concentrations were significantly higher in soils treated with poultry litter compared to control soils.
  • Lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) concentrations did not show significant differences between treated and control fields.
  • Trace element accumulation varied depending on the specific element.

Conclusions:

  • Long-term poultry litter application demonstrably increases soil concentrations of certain trace elements like As, Cd, Cu, and Mn.
  • The findings highlight the need for monitoring trace element levels in agricultural soils amended with poultry litter.
  • Further research is warranted to assess the environmental fate and potential risks associated with these accumulated elements.
