Untreated
Manure
Falls Short |
Pro-Act
Treated Manure
Works Harder |
|
More nitrogen
available in a form plants like |
Nitrogen is
not as easily used by plants. |
Converted
nitrogen is more stable and easily used by
plants. |
|
Full use of
nutrients |
Can't use
full potential of fertilizer value |
Better
control and superior form of nutrients gives
you more complete access to them. |
|
Nutrients
available over longer period of time. |
Not as much
long-term control of nutrients. |
3/4 of
the fertilizer value goes to quick action
while 1/4 remains for slow release
throughout the growing season. |
|
No crop
burning |
Uncontrolled
nutrients can burn crops |
Can be
used directly on growing crops without risk
of burning. |

Phosphorus
use is more unpredictable. |
Most
phosphorus drops to the lagoon bottom,
giving your more control. |

phosphorus in top water |
Top water
generally has 6-10 lbs. of P per 1,000 gal. |
P reduced
in top water to 2 lbs. per 1,000 gal. |
|
More
irrigation |
More
difficult to irrigate due to higher amounts
of solids. |
Less
solids mean you can irrigate easily, even
through a pivot. |
|
More
bountiful crops |
Nutrients are
less available to plants. |
The
superior fertilizer value has been proven to
result in healthier crops. |
