The Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences’ Analytical Services Laboratories produced a 6 page report on the nutrient content of the Elephant Compost available through this website. The testing lab specifically assayed this soil amendment when used with tomato, bean, and citrus crops. The graphic below is part of of this report:
In addition, the Livestock Waste Testing Lab also checked for micronutrients. Here are the concentrations of what they found:
Micronutrients are listed below in mg/liter (ppm) values
(Copper) Cu = 1
(Manganese) Mn= 9
(Zinc) Zn= 7
