In an article recently published in the Journal of Environmental Quality, researchers evaluated the effects of alumtreated versus untreated poultry litter on P leaching from soil cores taken from plots receiving poultry litter applications for 20 years. They found adding alum to poultry litter has a positive legacy effect on P; significantly reducing soluble P concentrations in leachate by 83% compared with untreated litter.
