Relationships between soil test phosphorus and county-level agricultural surplus phosphorus.

National nutrient inventories provide surplus phosphorus (P) estimates derived from county-scale mass balance calculations using P inputs from manure and fertilizer sales and P outputs from crop yield data. Although bioavailable P and surplus P are often correlated at the field scale, few studies have investigated the relationship between measured soil P concentrations of large-scale soil testing programs and inventory-based surplus P estimates. In this study, we assessed the relationship between national surplus P data from the NuGIS dataset and laboratory-measured soil test phosphorus (STP) at the county scale for Arkansas, North Carolina, and Oklahoma. For optimal periods of surplus P aggregation, surplus P was positively correlated with STP based on both Pearson (Arkansas: r=0.65, North Carolina: r=0.45, Oklahoma: r=0.52) and Spearman correlation coefficients (Arkansas: ρ=0.57, North Carolina: ρ=0.28, and Oklahoma: ρ=0.66). Based on Pearson correlations, the optimal surplus P aggregation periods were 10, 30, and 4 years for AR, NC, and OK, respectively. On average, STP was more strongly correlated with surplus P than with individual P inventory components (fertilizer, manure, and crop removal), except in North Carolina. In Arkansas and North Carolina, manure P was positively correlated with STP, and fertilizer P was negatively correlated with STP. Altogether, results suggest that surplus P moderately correlates with STP concentrations, but aggregation period and location-specific factors influence the strength of the relationship.

Three-phase artificial intelligence-geographic information systems-based biomass network design approach: A case study in Denizli

Renewable energy sources are of great importance in protecting the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and global warming. Recently, more efficient conversion technologies and different types of resources have been introduced to generate energy in a sustainable way. Biomass-to-energy systems need to be designed efficiently due to high volumes of raw material flows and transportation costs. This study proposes a novel integrated approach for the solution of biomass supply chain network design using artificial intelligence, geographic information systems, multi criteria decision making and mathematical modelling. First, the five-year forecasts of biomass raw materials including animal waste, agricultural residues, and municipal solid waste were made using support vector regression. Alternative biogas facility locations were determined spatially based on various criteria using geographic data and a decision-making technique. Then, considering annual net present value streams, the bioenergy system has been configured using a mixed integer linear programming model. The proposed methodology was applied on a real case in the city of Denizli, Turkey. The results showed that nine conversion facilities could be opened with 2000 kWh capacity each, and approximately 83.2% of net income could came from electricity sales, with the remainder from fertilizer sales. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis was carried out to see the variations in model parameters such as biomass purchase cost, transportation cost, fertilizer sales prices and discount rate. It was found that the most dominant factor affecting net present value was fertilizer sales price, which was followed by discount rate.

Economic, energetic and environmental analysis of the utilization of swine manure in Brazil: Opportunities and challenges

Specifically with regard to biomass, it can contribute to the creation and strengthening of green competitive advantages in terms of cost for agricultural units. Strictly, swine biomass, considered to have a high polluting load, can contribute to achieving the aforementioned benefits. Therefore, the objective of this article is to analyze the potential economic, environmental and energy contribution of this waste, whether in breeding units, as well as in the Brazilian energy matrix, both aiming to guide investments in the sector and also to guide the elaboration of public policies for the valorization of externalities ecosystemic of this waste, with emphasis on the bioelectricity, biofertilizers and biomethane market. The methodology used was the analysis of the financial viability of breeding units from 100 to 500 swines from 25 kg to 100 kg, with 252 days of operation, 10 h a day, with the use of canvas biodigestor and motor generator with efficiency between 25% up to 38% for electricity price ranges from USD 35.35/MWh to USD 155.35/MWh, sale of carbon credit, simple superphosphate and potassium chloride. Taxes on the sale of electricity and fertilizers at 34%, with a minimum attractive rate of 12% per annum. The results indicate viability for the entire range of numbers of swine, with the sale of fertilizers and electricity and electricity at a price of USD 35.35/MWh. For the exclusive sale of electricity, for efficiency of the thermoelectric motor between 25% and 38%, there is economic and financial viability beginning at 31% for production units of 100 swine with a price of USD 125.35/MWh. This business is viable with at least 200 swine through the replacement of diesel with 10% generated biogas. It can be concluded that there is a need to reformulate the incentive policy in Brazil, through the implementation of feed in tariffs; price the MWh, in the regulated market, based on its environmental externalities; extension of the free market hiring period; the development of teaching policies with farmers about the importance of reusing waste, aiming at replacing synthetic fertilizer with biofertilizer; convergence between the Union and Federative Units on incentive policies, with emphasis on the standardization of biomethane and the creation of captive markets, which provide predictability to agricultural investors, the industries that manufacture biomethane engines and expansion of the gas pipeline network in the country.

Optimization of Solid Waste Resource Utilization Mode Of Different-scale Dairy Farms from the Cost – Benefit Perspective

This study analyzed the cost – benefit of manure resource utilization using micro-investigation data of 89 large-scale dairy farms in Horinger County and Tumote Zuoqi, Inner Mongolia, China. Results showed that the applicable economic utilization modes of manure resources in smalland medium-scale farms are fertilizer sale and bedding production, respectively. However, the lack of market demand for organic fertilizer and technical equipment restricts their promotion of applicable economic models. Large- and ultra-large-scale farms are using manure resources as fertilizer, which is limited owing to the shortage of supporting cultivated land. Moreover, farms of different scales did not make profit from the utilization of manure resources, where large-scale farms suffered the highest degree of loss. Therefore, this study proposes to strengthen the supervision of, and technical support, for large-scale farms, completely promote tripartite governance, increase technology research, and encourage the implementation of cooperative planting and breeding and other countermeasures.
