Introduction

The nutrients from manure and other organic amendments have a nutrient and economic value. The table gives:

an estimate of the total and available nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K)
estimates of the dry matter (DM)/total solids from various livestock types and other organic amendments.

The information is based on average analysis results from over 12,000 Ontario laboratory samples. All information in the table is presented in an "as-is basis," or the nutrients as applied at the listed DM content.

The available N is determined based on the total N concentration, the time of year of material application and assumes that the material is applied and incorporated within 24 hours. The actual available N can vary due to the composition of the material and weather. The organic nitrogen (ON) portion of manure becomes more available over time. The expected amount of ON that becomes available in progressive years is higher for solid manure than for liquid manure.

The total P content available to crops is assumed to be 80%, however, a portion is unavailable to the crop immediately after application. This is reflected in the tables through different values for immediate and long-term available nutrient phosphorus pentoxide (P₂O₅). The K content immediately available to crops is assumed to be 90%.

The actual immediate economic nutrient value for crop production will be less than what is reflected in the table if the nutrients being applied are not required for the production of the crop. An example of this would be the N from manure applied to a legume crop, or the P and/or K applied to a field with a soil test higher than 30 mg/L (ppm) or 120 mg/L (ppm) for P and K, respectively.

The values in these tables were compiled by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA), with aggregate sample data provided by Ontario labs.

When land applying nutrients using this table, observe all regulatory requirements and necessary approvals. The nutrient content of sewage biosolids must be confirmed through analytical testing prior to land application as part of a non-agricultural source material (NASM) plan.

O. Reg. 267/03 (the regulation) incorporates by reference the Nutrient Management Protocol (the protocol). The protocol forms part of the regulation and it is legally binding. The protocol is defined in the regulation and includes the Nutrient Management Tables (tables). Information from Table 2 regarding total nutrient content, such as Total Kjeldhal Nitrogen (TKN), Ammonia and Ammonium Nitrogen (NH₄-N), Total Phosphorous (TP) and Total Potassium (TK) and total solids/DM can be used to comply with requirements in subsections 81(5) and 91(3) of the regulation and sections 7.3 and 10.3 of the protocol. Other information found in Table 2 may be useful for other purposes.

Footnotes

footnote[1] Back to paragraph Assumes manure is incorporated within 24 hours and at a pH of 7.0.
footnote[2] Back to paragraph In the year of application, 40% of the P in manure is immediately available and an additional 40% is available when considering subsequent years (long-term).
footnote[3] Back to paragraph
footnote[4] Back to paragraph For sandbedded dairy, the percentage (%) sand is subtracted from the % DM for spring applied.
footnote[5] Back to paragraph Washwater values refer to manure-based washwaters generated from washing of livestock facilities only.
footnote[6] Back to paragraph Results from anaerobic digesters includes digesters that are approved through Environmental Compliance Approvals (ECAs) under the Environmental Protection Act or Nutrient Management Strategies under the Nutrient Management Act. None of the results are from systems accepting human sewage.
footnote[7] Back to paragraph These results are meant for general information and planning purposes only. An approved NASM Plan is required before NASM containing sewage biosolids can be land applied. In addition, sampling and analysis of the NASM is required per O. Reg. 267/03 prior to land application.
footnote[8] Back to paragraph Fertilizers registered/listed under the federal Fertilizers Act should be applied in accordance with label recommendations. Note that fertilizer labels provide a minimum guaranteed analysis and actual nutrient content may be higher.
footnote[9] Back to paragraph Cured and immature are as described in the Agricultural Composting Basics fact sheet, Agdex# 720/400.
footnote[10] Back to paragraph For horse manure and N-Rich/N-Viro (organic lime), only the ammonium N is calculated as available for composite and <50% DM. Parties using N-Rich/N-Viro products should utilize the nutrient values available on product labels when establishing liming potential.
