| Question: | "Can you recommend poultry manure as a fertilizer for golf course turf?" |
|---|
| Source of Question: | Pennsylvania |

| Answer/Response: | "Yes. It should be remembered, however, that there are various grades of poultry manure. Fresh manure from the dropping boards is less concentrated than pulverized manure, since before being pulverized the manure must lose considerable moisture. Pulverized poultry manure usually contains some straw, dust, and waste, and analyzes from 2 to 3 per cent nitrogen, about 1.6 per cent phosphoric acid, and .8 per cent potash. There are brands of poultry packing house by-products on the market now that compare very favorably, in analysis and in results obtained from their use, with such fertilizers as cottonseed meal and sewage sludge. These poultry by-products are largely manure mixed with blood and offal from the killing room. The mixture is thoroughly dried and pulverized. It analyzes about 5 to 6 per cent nitrogen, 1.5 per cent phosphoric acid, and 1.25 per cent potash. When purchasing the above mentioned organic fertilizers it is largely a matter of the cost per unit of nitrogen that is to be considered." |
