Nitrogen Dioxide Production from Silage. I. Field Survey1

J. V. Scaletti2, C. E. Gates3, R. A Briggs4 and L. M Schuman5

Synopsis: Of 332 farm silos studied in detail, 42% showed the presence of nitrogen dioxide in concentrations considered hazardous. The factors of organic matter, available potassium and phosphorus levels in soils, and the use of sodium metabisulfite as a silage preservative were related to production of nitrogen dioxide.
