Editor's Notes
- D.S. Andersen
- In determining the value of the manure test, it is important to understand how having this information alters the farmer’s nutrient management and affects farm profit. Input costs: cost estimates of field activities, the cost of purchased inputs (herbicide and seed) the sale price of corn, the cost of synthetic N fertilizer, maximum potential yield, and the response of the corn to the applied N. N (MRTN) or P (P removal rate) selected Book N values w/ st dev, A normal probability distribution function was used to assess the percent chance of different nutrient application rates occurring. Pre or during application Pre: select rate based on results During: apply more synthetic N if under applied Result: producer saves money by ensuring that nutrients are applied at crop needs so yields and therefore profits are maximized.
- This graph shows the corn response to Nitrogen. As you can see, the maximum yield is obtained between 150 and 200 kg N/ha for a corn after soybean rotation and at about 250 kg N/ha for a corn after corn rotation. It is important to know the exact N content of the manure because applying above the maximum yield does not increase yield and the excess N has the potential to leach into surface water. If not enough N is applied, even a 5-10% reduction in yield can greatly reduce the producer’s profit.
- 1000 head swine farm with continuous corn rotation first four years of manure sample values were 0.84%, 0.72%, 0.98%, and 0.62% N for an average and standard deviation of 0.79% ± 0.16% N. The N content for the current year was 0.92% N. Without testing: assume available N content of 0.79% Pre-sampling: test is worth $30.96 ha-1 with overall value of $1,759 Sampling during application: test is worth $14.20 ha-1 with overall value of $1,589. In both cases, the producer would have under applied N if they had assumed the four year average N content, which would have resulted in reduced corn yields and reduced profits. Manure sampling is a good return on investment for this case with return of about 9:1
- Many factors cause differences in the value of the manure test. The test is especially dependent on the type of manure tested because different manures have different uncertainties in nutrient contents. Value determined by rotation because corn-corn rotations are more sensitive to N application rate than corn-soybean Result: pre-sampling more economical when application is N-limited. These results are in $/ha, so a typical farm could potentially save thousands of dollars just by testing their manure.
