Project Background
Washington State University proposes to demonstrate technologies that can improve cost efficiency of transporting manure nutrients from regions of dense populations of animal agriculture operations to areas that have a demand for manure nutrients. The goals will be: (1) to successfully demonstrate the mobile unit at numerous dairies; (2) develop an effective regional P-recycling relationship between the WA dairy industry and forage growers; and (3) increase the understanding of phosphorus management by both industries.
