¶ Entering a Biosolid Analysis
If you have a typical lab report for biosolids, where the nutrient content is reported on a dry weight basis, this will not be difficult.
- Select the appropriate biosolids or organic waste type in the Manure Sources table on the Nutrients tab.
- Above the Manure Analysis table, click New Biosolid Analysis
- A pop-up window will appear that converts data from the units in the lab report to lb/dry ton, lb/wet ton, or lb/1000 gallon depending on the nutrient type you chose.
- After filling out the form, click Submit
¶ What if I do not have a typical lab report?
You may get an analysis for an organic amendment that does not report the nutrient content in the same “% of dry matter” or “% of solids” units required in the SnapPlus Biosolid analysis entry. You will need to convert the results to these units using the reported solids content.
