Introduction
Improving Soil nutrients are essential for the sustainable
agriculture and to get higher yields.

Addition of manure to the soils can improve the soil
nutrients, soil health and crop yield.

Manure has been shown to be an excellent source of
plant nutrients.


Study Objective
v  To assess the influence of manure on soil properties including N,P
and K contents and crop yields under long term (10 years) cornsoybean rotation in South Dakota.

Materials and Methods
Lab and field Analysis:

Sampling and Data Collection
Study covers 12 years period from 2003
to present.
Soil samples were collected in fall after

harvesting (2003-2013).
Three samples from each plot were mixed
together to make a composite sample.

Conclusion
v  Nutrients from either manure or fertilizer increased long term yields over the
check at Beresford and Brookings.

v  In general, higher manure rates produced higher yields. As expected, when
phosphorus is added in excess of removal (grain P) soil test levels increase for
both manure and fertilizer nutrient sources.

v  Higher manure rates decrease pH and increase organic matter levels.
