"Effect of manure quality on nitrate leaching and groundwater pollution in wetland soil under field tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum, Mill var. Heinz) rape (Brassica napus, L var. Giant)"^^ . "Recent decades have seen an increase in groundwater pollution thought to be a consequence of increasing intensity of land use, primarily through greater use of high N analysis materials as fertilizers. A two-season lysimeter experiment was carried out in a wetland in central Zimbabwe in order to determine the effect of cattle manure quality on (1) NO3–N concentration in leachate and nitrate leaching (2) dry matter accumulation and uptake of N by tomato and rape crops grown in wetland conditions. Two cattle manure quality types based on N content were used in the experiment. The manure collected from a kraal of the smallholder wetland community was classified as high quality manure (high N, 1.36 % N) while that collected from the adjacent commercial farming area was classified as low quality manure (low N, 0.51 % N). The two manure types were applied in rates of 0, 15, 30 Mg ha−1. The treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replicates. When 15 and 30 Mg high and low N manure ha−1 were applied, the concentration of NO3–N in leachate exceeded the recommended 10 mg L−1 concentration in portable water by 15–104 and 53–174 % respectively. The substitution of 15 and 30 Mg of high N manure with 15 and 30 Mg ha−1 of low N manure reduced total N lost through leaching by 10–43 and 22–69 % respectively. Ground water contamination by nitrate overload can be considerably reduced by application of low N manure to vegetable crops."^^ . "2013" . . "96" . "2-3" . . "Springer"^^ . . .
