List of the standard manure testing methods used by the Agricultural Analytical Services Lab.
Managing manure for optimum economic crop production with minimum environmental impact requires a knowledge of the manure's nutrient content. While standardized or "book" values listing average nutrient contents of manures are available, they are of little value because of the large variation that exists among different manure storage and handling systems. Instead, manure analysis is recommended for the accurate determination and optimum management of manure nutrients.
Testing of manures and biosolids is key to minimizing losses of phosphorus (P) from agricultural soils receiving these materials as amendments. A large body of work now shows that P loss in runoff water can range widely with different manures and biosolids that are land applied.
