Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreber) plots received swine (Sus scrofa L) manure slurry at 1 or 2 Mg (dry weight) ha-1 to provide N at 78.4 or 156.8 kg ha-1. Simulated rain (75 mm hr-1) applied 24 hr after slurry application produced 30 min of runoff from each plot. Mean infiltration rates ranged from 7.7 to 60.6 mm hr-1. Concentrations and mass losses of total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), NH4-N, dissolved reactive P (DRP), and total P in runoff increased significantly (α = 0.05) following slurry applications, and doubled when slurry application doubled. High infiltration rates reduced runoff volumes and runoff concentrations of Cl, total dissolved solids, DRP, TKN, and NH4-N. Concentrations of NO3-N and NH4-N in leachate water, collected at 0.4 m depth by suction cup lysimeters, did not increase following slurry applications.}, issn = {0022-4561}, URL = {https://www.jswconline.org/content/56/1/32}, eprint = {https://www.jswconline.org/content/56/1/32.full.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Soil and Water Conservation} }
