Sediment, Nutrient, and Bacterial Runoff from Biosolids and Mineral Fertilizer Applied to a Mixed Cool- and Native Warm-Season Grassland in the Ozark Mountains

Table 3

Concentration and total fecal coliform colony-forming units (CFUs) in runoff.

Treatment^†	Mean CFUs in 100 mL	Mean total CFUs^‡
LBU	35,720	10,965,563
LBF	7,080	1,348,587
HBF	4,880	367,700
C	117	90,130

†LBU: low rate of biosolids, unfiltered; LBF: low rate of biosolids, filtered by a 1 m grass strip; HBF: high rate of biosolids, filtered by a 1 m grass strip; C: untreated control.
‡Mean CFUs are given, but no differences among treatments were detected using preplanned orthogonal contrasts on raw, square-root, or log₁₀ transformed data.
