When adding a manure product to Gatekeeper, it is necessary to link the product type and nutrient contents to the product. Once this has been done, the nutrients applied can be automatically calculated from the tonnage of manure applied to the field.
To add analysis to an existing manure product:
From the main Gatekeeper screen, go to Setup > Products (Business)
Navigate the list on the left through Variable Costs > Nutrition > Organic Manure and click on the manure name
Click on the ‘Nutrition’ subtab
In the ‘Manure type’ dropdown, tick the white box to activate the dropdown list and select the appropriate type for your product
On the ‘Total’ tab on the right hand side, select from the available nutrient management rulesets, and standard figures will be populated.
Optional: if you wish to override the standard figures, tick ‘Override analysis’ and enter your own figures
Optional for V9 England and Wales ruleset use: if you wish to add ‘Available’ figures to display on the ‘Fertiliser’ tab of field records,
Tick ‘Override analysis’ on the ‘Total’ tab
Go to the ‘Available’ tab
Click ‘Add Item’, select nutrient, and enter available figure as required. Repeat as necessary for additional nutrients.
This information must be entered if you will be using the nutrient management centre.
