Liquid Swine Manure as a Fertilizer Source for Established Alfalfa

Author:

Abstract

Manure application during the mid-summer months is a problem on many farms. Row crops occupy most of the crop acres. Producers inquire as to the advisability of applying liquid swine manure to established alfalfa fields. A series of studies was initiated in 1998 at the Northern Iowa Research Farm to investigate the suitability of liquid swine pit manure as a fertilizer source for alfalfa.
