Description

Liquid manure is an excellent source of nutrients for annual and perennial crop production. To determine an appropriate manure application rate to meet crop requirements, optimize yields and minimize environmental effects, it is essential to know the nutrient content of the manure being applied. The best way to get an accurate, farm-specific estimate of manure nutrient content is through proper sampling and analysis. The accuracy and usefulness of a manure analysis is a direct reflection of the quality of the sample collected. The most convenient time to sample manure is when it is being pumped from the storage for application. More importantly, a more accurate sample can be collected after the manure has been agitated and is being pumped from the structure.
