Fertilizer & Manure Management
Fertilizer Management - Modern vegetable fertility programs are complex in nature
resulting from the interaction of many factors. One important factor is
fertilizer cost, which is a large portion of the crop production expenses.
Application of unneeded nutrients contributes to farming inefficiency and,
potentially, to groundwater pollution. Careful use of fertilizers,
therefore, will save money and ensure freedom from governmental monitoring and
regulation.
Manure Management - Animal manures have been used effectively as fertilizers for
centuries. Poultry manure has long been recognized as perhaps the most
desirable of these natural fertilizers because of its high nitrogen
content. In addition, manures supply other essential plant nutrients and
serve as a soil amendment by adding organic matter. Organic matter
persistence will vary with temperature, drainage, rainfall, and other
environmental factors. Organic matter in soil improves moisture and
nutrient retention. The utilization of manure is an integral part of
sustainable agriculture.
