Commercial snap bean (Phaseolus vulguris L.) yields in spring were similar when comparing a commercial fertilizer standard based on soil test recommendations to three application rates of broiler litter. Snap bean yields in the fall were higher on plots that received spring-applied broiler litter than on those receiving the commercial fertilizer standard in the fall. Increasing the application rate of broiler litter generally resulted in a linear yield response during both seasons. Broiler litter is used as a nutrient source for commercial agronomic and horticulture crops (Link and Thomas, 1981). Increased yields have been reported on a variety of horticulture crops where broiler litter has been used as fertilizer (Liebhardt, 1976; Robertson and Wolford, 1970; Shortall and Liebhardt, 1975). Studies have been conducted to evaluate the effect of broiler litter application rate on sweet corn (Zea mays L.), watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. and Nakai), and a variety of other vegetable crops (Robertson and Wolford, 1975; Sims, 1987; Sowell et al., 1963; Ware and Johnson, 1968). Based on these data, recommendations for using broiler litter can be made for several crops. We found no reports evaluating the use of a relatively high organic N source on a crop with low N requirements, such as snap beans. The objec- tive of this research was to determine the effect of broiler litter on snap bean production, foliar nutrient content, and soil pH and nutrient concentrations on two soils in Alabama. test recommendations at (kg·ha -1 ) 72.8N-32P- 60K at Sand Mountain, and 86.8N-38P-72K at Cullman. Broiler litter was analyzed for N by a Kjeldahl method and for Ca, K, Mg, P, Fe, Mn, and Zn by inductively coupled argon plasma spectrophotometry (Ogg, 1960). A dry ash digestion procedure was used to prepare plant tissue samples to be analyzed. The Mehlich 1 extractant method was used for increased yields 10%, 19%, and 35%, respec- tively, at Sand Mountain, compared with commercial fertilizer. Spring yields at Sand Mountain only and fall yields at both locations increased as broiler litter application rate in- creased. These data suggest that adequate nu- trients were available from the broiler litter to support snap bean yield. Most of the previous
