If water is reused, treat to
prevent microbial buildup.
Monitor treatment chemicals
and parameters.
Change water as needed.
Use appropriate wash methods
and temperatures.
Keep equipment clean.
Manure Management
Date of spreading manures is important for
records
If composting, data such as temperature of
pile and length of time composted
How manures are stored and for how long.
Preventing animals in you fields even wild
animals that visit frequently.

animal manure represents a
significant source of potential

Root crops > low growing crops > tree fruit
Properly treated manure
can be effective and safe

measures are in place.
