PART B
Poultry manure – Percentage of nitrogen available to next crop following Poultry Manure applications (use the value in brackets for grassland and winter oilseed rape cropping).
| *These values assume incorporation by ploughing. Cultivation using discs or tines is likely to be less effective in minimising ammonia losses and intermediate values of nitrogen availability should be used. |
