The project entails the purchase and use of a tractor to mix and aerate compost piles using fish waste from a local fish processing plant. The protein will be composted with a range of local resources, including (but not limited to): kitchen scraps, wood chips, locally harvested peat moss, dirt, and grass clippings in a ratio not less than 4 parts carbon to one part fish, or used to produce a liquid fish-based fertilizer (hydrolysate). The grantee will produce a liquid fish hydrolysate formulated from fish parts, effective microorganisms (EM), and water. This liquid fish will be used as a foliar application on root vegetables. Both the compost and the liquid fish hydrolysate will be used at a local agricultural enterprise, located within 2 ½ miles from the partner fish processing plant.

Anaerobic digesters can provide dairy farms with important benefits, but this processing of manure increases its level of ammonium - a greenhouse gas (GHG) that can be lost to the atmosphere rapidly. This project focuses on evaluating the potential of a low-cost digester effluent treatment system to shape best management practices for manure and nutrient management.

Nutrient management recommendations for the application of phosphorus and potassium in Illinois have been developed based on conventional tillage systems. Currently there are no definite guidelines on soil sampling for phosphorus and potassium analysis of fields under conservation tillage systems such as strip-till and No-till. The purpose of this award is to research and develop methodology for soil sampling methods as well as recommendations for the placement of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers in strip-till cropping operations.
