5 Organic Benefits of Reduce erosion Reflected in RUSLE2 erosion prediction tool. Reflected in the NE P index. Difficult to quantify in many soils Added OM often is relatively little compared to soil OM pool. Net P loss increases with large manure application rates. as Fertilizer: Rules for Success Analyze manure Estimate nutrient availability Spread target rate Uniform spread pattern Effective use of manure as a fertilizer starts with a quality estimate of nutrient content.
