Useable N = amount of nitrogen available in the year of application assuming spring application incorporated within 24 hr. Asimplified
useable N for fall-applied manure = [(% total N x 0.5) x 100] for liquid manure.
Value of manure is based on purchase price of an equivalent amount of mineral fertilizer (Oct 2013).
(N P205 K20 = 1.30 1.35 0.95 $/kg). The actual immediate value for crop production will be less if all the nutrients applied are not
required for growing the crop.
The micronutrient and organic matter values are not reflected in these tables.

Useable N = amount of nitrogen available in the year of application assuming spring application incorporated within 24 hr. Asimplified
useable N for fall-applied manure = [(% total N x 0.5) x 20] for solid manure (imperial).

Value of manure is based on purchase price of an equivalent amount of mineral fertilizer (Oct 2013). (N P205 K20 = 0.60 0.61 0.43 $/lb).
The actual immediate value for crop production will be less if all the nutrients applied are not required for growing the crop.
The micronutrient and organic matter values are not reflected in these tables.

Useable N = amount of nitrogen available in the year of application, assuming spring application incorporated within 24 hr. Asimplified
useable N for fall-applied manure = [(% total N x 0.5) x 10] for solid manure (metric).
Represents half the total phosphorus that is immediately available. The other half is available within a year of application.
Value of manure is based on purchase price of an equivalent amount of mineral fertilizer (Oct 2013).
(N P205 K20 = 1.30 1.35 0.95 $/kg). The actual immediate value for crop production will be less if all the nutrients applied are not
required for growing the crop.
The micronutrient and organic matter values are not reflected in these tables.
