Key Observations & Recommendations

1. Phosphorus & Potassium

   • Moderate phosphorus (4.3 lbs/ton) – Enough for most plants.

   • High potassium (13.5 lbs/ton) – Good for root and fruit growth.

   • Recommendation: Works well for fruiting crops (apples, tomatoes, etc.).

2. Micronutrients

   • Iron and Manganese are moderate – Supports plant health.

   • Zinc and Copper are low – No toxicity risk.

   • Recommendation: Not a strong micronutrient source; supplement as needed.

Best Uses for This Manure

✅ Soil Amendment for Organic Matter & Water Retention
✅ Good for potassium-loving plants (fruits, flowers, root crops)
✅ Blends well with compost to balance nitrogen
✅ Improves soil structure but should be aged or mixed with high-N material
