Application of Poultry Litter

Maryland's Eastern Shore is the home to one of the largest poultry industries in the country. Over 750,000 tons of poultry litter and manure are produced each year. Concerns with over application of poultry manure to agricultural lands has led to an interest in application of poultry litter to pine plantations that are common to the Eastern Shore. Forest application is a developed science in the southeast states, especially Georgia. The University of Maryland is cooperating with other partners and the University of Georgia to implement research studies that will determine the suitability of sites for poultry litter application.
