Fig. 2. Dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) from (A) the first runoff event and (B) the mean of all three runoff events resulting from application of poultry litter treated with dietary modification and/or alum additions to litter. Bars with different letters are significantly different at P < 0.05. Means separation performed using Fisher's protected LSD. HAP, high available phosphorus.
