G97-1335 Determining Crop Available Nutrients From Manure, Richard K. Koelsch, Charles A. Shapiro Jan 1997

G97-1335 Determining Crop Available Nutrients From Manure, Richard K. Koelsch, Charles A. Shapiro

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide discusses the availability and utilization of manure nutrients for field crop production. When managed correctly, nutrients in livestock manure can be a valuable resource. When managed improperly, however, these same nutrients represent a potential environmental pollutant. Accurate crediting of manure nutrients within a total crop nutrient program is fundamental to utilizing manure as a resource. This NebGuide illustrates how to estimate the crop available manure nutrients (Part c, Figure 1) and calculate an agronomically based manure application rate.


G97-1334 Estimating Manure Nutrients From Livestock And Poultry, Richard K. Koelsch, Charles A. Shapiro Jan 1997

G97-1334 Estimating Manure Nutrients From Livestock And Poultry, Richard K. Koelsch, Charles A. Shapiro

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide discusses a procedure for estimating the quantity of nutrients in livestock manure. When managed properly, nutrients in livestock manure can be a valuable resource. When managed improperly, however, these same nutrients become a potential environmental pollutant. Accurate crediting of manure nutrients within a total crop nutrient program is fundamental to utilizing manure as a resource. This NebGuide will help producers estimate the total manure nutrients (N, P and K) produced by their livestock and show how to adjust for losses for various storage and handling situations.


Ec97-781 Livestock Systems Environmental Assessment, Richard K. Koelsch Jan 1997

Ec97-781 Livestock Systems Environmental Assessment, Richard K. Koelsch

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

The goal of this assessment package is to help a livestock producer confidentially evaluate their stewardship of water and air resources. Protecting both the groundwater that supplies your drinking water and the surface waters that provide recreational opportunities is in the interests of every livestock producer. The worksheets will assist you in estimating the quantity of nutrients in the manure from your livestock; guide you through a step-by-step evaluation of your livestock system for possible impacts on water and air quality; and help you identify your operation's enviornmental strengths and weaknesses.


Observations On Pasture Management And Grazing, Darwin B. Nielsen Jan 1997

Observations On Pasture Management And Grazing, Darwin B. Nielsen

Archived Agriculture Publications

Selection of the notes was based on an interest in pasture management, improving grazing systems, and grazing animal behavior as it might apply to Utah. This interest was stimulated as a result of research on pasture use and development and as a participant on the USU Pasture Committee.
