BALANCING THE AVAILABILITY OF NUTRIENTS IN MANURED SOILS
Posted in: Environment, Pork Insight Articles by admin on July 6, 2017
There is opportunity to make more effective use of manure nutrients through balancing with commercial fertilizer. Important considerations identified so far are: 1) the N:P balance with respect to compensating for low N availability in solid manures through application of supplemental fertilizer nitrogen to enhance crop response and utilization of manure P, and 2) the N:S balance with respect to potential limitations of S relative to N on swine manured soils and requirements for additional fertilizer S.
