What kind of fertilizer is carabao manure?

Chicken manure was applied at the rate of one half kilogram per treatment while carabao manure was fertilized at the rate of 1kg. This ratio was adopted based on the chemical analysis published by PCARRD (1983) which showed that carabao manure has 1.22% nitrogen, 0.5% phosphorus, and 0.79% potassium.

What is the chemical composition of manure?

Land application: Raw (untreated) manure applied to land contains nitrogen in the form of organic compounds and ammonium. Dryer manure from feedlots and poultry litter will also contain some nitrate-N. The organic nitrogen in manure is broken down into forms plants can absorb over time.

What are the five components of manure?

Manure Composition

• Nitrogen in Manure. Nitrogen in manure is found in the organic and inorganic forms.
• Phosphorus and Potassium in Manure. Phosphorus and Potassium in manure are mostly present in the inorganic form.
• Micronutrients in Manure.
• Organic Matter.

How is Carabao manure similar to regular cement?

Williams [4] found that carabao manure is a nitrogen-rich material with sodium, sulfur, potassium, phosphorous which is comparatively similar to the components of cement being used in constructions with calcium, sodium, sulfur trioxide, potassium oxide, and calcium oxide.

What makes up the composition of farm manure?

Several factors influence the composition of farm manure and they are the following 1. Source of manure 2. Feed of the animals 3. Age of the animals 4. Condition of the animals 5. Manner of storage and handling 6. Litter use etc., On an average the composition of FYM is usually 0.5 % N, .25 % P 2O 5and 0.5 % K 2O.

Where can I find Carabao manure ash blocks?

The developed blocks from carabao manure ash together with 100g of the carabao manure ash were forwarded to the Department of Science and Technology for chemical testing in reference to ASTM standards.

What does manure do to the soil in Manitoba?

For information about the behavior of nutrients in soil, see the Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development (MAFRD) publication “Effects of Manure and Fertilizer on Soil Fertility and Quality.” Introduction Manure is composed of animal feces and urine and may contain livestock bedding, additional water and wasted feed (Figure 1).
