I have been offered some poultry manure, are there any problems in applying it prior to my min till, autumn sown cereal crops?
If you are in a NVZ you cannot apply poultry manure during September and October when growing an autumn sown crop. Poultry manure has a high available N content and if applied in autumn much of this can be lost by leaching overwinter or by volatilisation prior to incorporation. If you do apply it you should use PLANET or MANNER to assess how much N is available for your cereal crop next spring. PLANET and MANNER are available free from ADAS.
