Fig. 1. Experimental design where liquid swine manure was injected (INJ) or topdressed (TD) at different rates (m3 ha1) from 20002002, with location of the drainage tile access for each of the 16 plots overlain on photo taken 18 Jul. 2001.

Fig. 2. Postharvest soil NO3N concentrations in the top 20 cm (19992002 geometric means except at 110 kg N ha1) and end of season stalk NO3N concentration in 2002 for five sidedressed liquid swine manure (LSM) N application rates and two application methods (inject [INJ] and topdress [TD]). Total N in LSM is the average of 19992002 (soil data) or 2002 (stalk data) values. Within a dependent variable, means with the same letter are not different at P 0.05 as determined by the protected LSD test.

Fig. 3. Rainfall and tile water NO3N concentrations throughout 2000 to 2002 with three or five liquid swine manure sidedress rates, averaged over method (inject and topdress) of application. Concentrations are averaged over groups of sampling events (November 2000June 2001, and 19 Jun.30 Jul. 2002) when the rate effect did not vary with time. Bars are standard error, with only the largest standard error shown for each sampling event.

Fig. 4. Tile water NO3N concentrations following sidedress of liquid swine manure (LSM) at different rates by injection or topdress, averaged over all sampling events between 19 Jun. 2001 and 19 Jun. 2002.

Fig. 5. Tile water NO3N concentrations from 19 Jun. 2001 to 19 Jun. 2002 for two liquid swine manure sidedress application methods (injection and topdress), average of 37.4 and 56.1 m3 ha1 application rates. Within boxed areas, means for the two methods are different at P 0.05 as determined by the protected LSD test.
