Slurry Application Calculator

Calculate the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium supplied by your slurry or manure application

About these values: Nutrient figures are typical RB209 values. Actual nutrient content varies with animal diet, water dilution, and storage method. Slurry testing is recommended for accurate planning. Available N is calculated after application method efficiency losses (broadcast 35%, trailing shoe 60%, injection 80%). Organic manure applications count towards your NVZ limit of 170 kg total N/ha/year.
