Field plot experiments were conducted over two years on two different Nova Scotian soils. Barley and corn were grown successively on the same plots fertilized with different types and sources of animal manures with and without clover intercrops. Barley and corn yields and leaf tissue were analysed for Cu, Mn, and Zn; DPTA extractable soil Cu, Mn, and Zn were assessed concurrently to determine whether the amendments were good sources of metals. Red clover (single and double cut) and sweet clover intercrops were analysed for yield and nutrient content.
