Manure Analysis Information

If manure is not being sent for analysis or if manure volume is not being estimated directly, the software generates estimates for volume and nutrient content to allow manure application rates and an allocation strategy for the operation.

If manure volume is being estimated and manure nutrient content is determined through manure testing then the ‘Analysis’ window can be used (Figure 7.2.16). Values from the manure analysis (NH
