The following Table summarizes the average weight of typical plant
nutrients found in livestock manure produced daily and yearly.
Notes:
- Manure fertilizer elements are not completely
available to plants
- To determine actual phosphorous (P) weight
multiply Phosphate value by 0.437 (P=0.437P2O5)
- To determine actual potassium weight multiply
Potash value by 0.826 (K=0.826K2O)
