Compost and manure analysis determines the quantity of available nutrients in solid and liquid organic manures. Knowing your nutrient content helps when developing a crop management program, as you only want to apply what is missing.
Compost quality is key if you want to see great results, and poorly made compost can cause more harm than good. Apart from the available nutrient content, we are also able to provide you with pathogen tests for compost and manure.
