Organic manures are a valuable source of organic matter, major (N, P, K, S, Mg & Ca) and minor nutrients (Mn, Cu, Zn & B). Efficient use of these nutrients will help improve soil health and supply a proportion of the crops major and minor nutrients during the growing season. Timing and method of application is critical to reduce N losses and maximum retention of slurry N for crop growth.
