Cover Story: The plant nutrient content in incinerated poultry ash makes it attractive for use as a fertilizer, but little is known about its optimal land application. Tests using ash alone and combined with lime or gypsum as fillers revealed that neither of these materials negatively affected plant productivity. The uniform distribution of ash alone and filler/ash blends in field applications is feasible using a commercial fertilizer spreader. View Paper here.
