Argentina has about 4500 farms that produced 5,5 million kg of meat. Production of swine is strongly increasing. Despite the large amount of swine treated liquid waste (STLW) produced, its reuse as fertilizer is a very recent practice. A field experiment was conducted to verify corn response to the application of STLW by irrigation (IR) and injection (IN) systems in an Argiudoll of loamy-clay texture.
