Poultry Litter is Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA) approved for organic use and is an excellent source of nutrients that can be incorporated into most fertilizer programs. The key to successful management is to match the nutritional requirements of the crop with nutrients available in the Poultry Litter and supplemental fertilizers.
Poultry Litter is sawdust-based and is an excellent source of organic matter. Organic matter is of utmost importance in potato crop rotation in Aroostook County. A four tons per acre application of Poultry Litter would add the value of a plow-down rotation crop.
