Fig. 1. Total P concentration in the liquid fraction of two types of liquid swine manure (nursery and grower-finisher) treated with different amounts of Mg in the form of by-product of electrolysis and foundries (BPEF) as a function of time (2360 h) with x-axis on a log scale; the mixed control treatment received no BPEF but was stirred before each sampling. Vertical bars represent the LSD values (P 0.05) at each sampling time.
