Manure versus fertilizer in Arkansas trials
Tests by the Arkansas College of Agriculture with farmers found one ton of good manure matched 100 pounds of 4-10-4 fertilizer in fertilizing value. Ten tons produced slightly more carp and less cotton than 600 pounds of 4-10-4, with greater residual benefits for following crops. Manure benefits improve with 50 to 75 pounds of superphosphate per ton. Manure is poorer in phosphate than in nitrogen and potash.
