  1. aCase I, manure production from questionnaire x nutrient concentrations in compost from farm sample; Case II, manure production reported by ME x nutrient concentrations in compost from farm sample; Case III, manure production reported from ME x nutrient concentrations in compost from ME
  2. bOrganic component of the ME is not to be compared referred to as BOD
  3. cP coefficient is 1.0
