Manure tests can save
NEWARK, Del - With spring
just around the corner, poultry and
livestock producers are getting
ready to spread stockpiled manure
on their fields. These growers can
significantly reduce crop
production costs by testing the
manure first and then calculating
it as part of their total fertilizer
program, says University of
Delaware Extension en
vironmental specialist Ross
Harris. Samples should be
analyzed for nitrogen, phosphorus
and potassium, plus ammonia.
Testing is the only way to
determine the exact nutrient value
of manure, he says, since this
varies with handling and storage.
“I can’t stress enough the im
portance of good animal waste
management in this' time of
economic depression,” _ Harris
says. “Manure not only redflces
your fertilizer bill, it reduces the
interest you have to pay on the
money you borrow to buy that
fertilizer. Besides that, it builds
soil tilth and improves the in
filtration rate by increasing
organic matter content a real
plus, especially on some of our
sandy soils.”
About 800,000 tons of manure a
year are generated in Delaware.
Spread at a rate of 125 pounds of
nitrogen per acre, this is enough to
cover 138,000 acres of cropland.
By testing livestock wastes first,
farmers can calibrate spreaders
for proper application rates. Once
spread, the manure must be in
corporated promptly in order to
reduce ammonia loss. When
correctly applied, Harris says
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 5,1983—P13
farmers money
farmers who use manure can
reduce their fertilizer costs
without sacrificing yields and at
the same time benefit the en
vironment by reducing the
potential for groundwater con
tamination.
Several local laboratories will
test manure. Most analyses cost
less than $3O a sample. Harris
considers this an excellent in
vestment.
Like soil tests, the accuracy of
results depends on taking
representative samples. Sample
stockpiled poultry manure with a
soil probe, collecting numerous
samples throughout the pile. Mix
these in a bucket and then send in a
specimen of this for analysis.
Crusted manure and cleanout
manure should be tested
separately, since their nutrient
concentrations will differ.
Dairy operators with liquid or
semisolid storage systems may
find it hard to get a uniform
sample because of the crusted
surface. In this case, Harris
recommends breaking through the
crust enough to sample liquids as
well. Collect specimens from
several places and combine them.
Agitate first, if possible, to get a
uniform slurry.
“I don’t recommend breaking
the large crust on a liquid system,
however, because this will allow
ammonia to volatilize,” he says.
“You want to break up the crust
only when you’re ready to apply
the manure to the land, so you
don’t lose any more nitrogen than
you have to.”
