Application of Bottom Ash Derived from Livestock Manure Combustion-Improved Soil Physicochemical Properties and Nutrient Uptake of Creeping Bentgrass by Young-Sun Kim, Seung-Jae Lim, Geung-Joo Lee

“…This experiment examined the effects of blending bottom ash produced after combusting dry livestock manure (BACL, 2–4 mm particle) as a soil amendment on the physicochemical properties of the root zone and growth response of creeping bentgrass in sandy soil. The treatments were designed as follows: control [100% sand], 3% BACL (3% BACL + 97% sand), 5% BACL (5% BACL + 95% sand), 7% BACL (7% BACL + 93% sand), and 10% BACL (10% BACL + 90% sand). …”
