Abstract
Animal manure has long been recognized as a source of nutrients that are normally supplied in fertilizers. Farmers need to know the amounts of nutrients supplied to crops in manure to properly adjust commercial fertilizer rates to meet crop needs while minimizing contamination of water supplies through leaching or runoff. Guidelines for sampling manure for nutrient content to improve crop and soil management is contained in this 2009 NebGuide.
