The Farmer's Department notes that when yard manure is not promptly broadcast or when straw manure is used it should be plowed in. English farmers with experience prefer top dressing arguing that manure acts on roots only after dissolution, and dissolved plant nutrients should contact as many roots as possible. Water carrying nutrients moves through deeper soil layers, reducing root contact compared to surface application.
