1. Nitrogen Contribution from Different Manure Sources

Nitrogen fertilizer equivalencies (NFE) from manure are influenced by manure type, application method, crop selection, and environmental conditions. Much of the research to determine NFE of manure was conducted in tilled systems but many producers use no-tillage (NT) to reduce soil erosion and labor requirements. The objective of this study was to determine NFE for different manure types used in corn (Zea mays L.) cropping systems. Manures consisted of composted swine manure (CSM), poultry litter...
