Yield Responses to Winter Application of Chicken Manure

Authors: ,

Abstract

During the fall and winter months, many farmers are applying chicken manure as a fertilizer source. Although not desirable, applications have been made to snow-covered fields. In 2000, an experiment was started to evaluate yield response to chicken litter applied to snow-covered fields. The objective of the experiment was to document yield responses to applications made at two different rates, during the winter and spring.
