Description
With increased hog production in Western Canada, manure is becoming a valuable fertilizer source to farms that are near hog operations. Most swine manure is applied to annual cropland in the fall or spring of each year. This study looked at the possible benefits of extending the application season to include manure injection at the post-emergent crop stage. It was found that post-emergent, low-disturbance injection of swine manure on wheat was an effective and economic means of boosting grain protein. However, late manure application, after the wheat was past the 3-leaf state, resulted in potential yield loss due to coulter injection and wheel track damage.
