NOTE: All ingredients are natural and organic whenever available.

Ingredients:

Cow manure (grassfed, no antibiotics, no chemical wormers, and no GMO feed allowed) incorporated into the soil 10/20/23 and aged underground until 6/12/24 (238 days in soil) 

The Accredited Certifiers Association (ACA) has reviewed this product, and as a manure product, the pre-harvest interval begins when the horn manure is buried. The ACA Best Practices Manual states:

7. Biodynamic Prep - Horn Manure
References: §205.203, §205.601, §205.602, NOP 5034-1 

Horn manure spray is produced by filling a horn with raw animal manure, burying the horn in soil for a specified period of time, unburying the horn, and diluting the contents with water for application to crops or fields.

● Synthetic ingredients must be listed at §205.601(j) and non-synthetic ingredients must not be prohibited at §205.602. Restrictions and annotations, such as documentation for micronutrient deficiencies, must be followed.

● Preparations containing animal manure, including horn manure spray, must comply with raw manure days-to-harvest restrictions. The pre-harvest interval begins the date the horn is buried.

○ In general, this process does not satisfy the requirements for composted manure or processed manure that would exempt the use from the pre-harvest interval requirements that apply to raw manure under section 205.203(c)(1) of the USDA organic regulations or NOP Guidance 5006. Certifying agents may need to review the manufacturing process on a case-by-case basis to determine whether the raw manure restriction applies; however, for purposes of the guidance, we have not amended the listing. The only manufacturing process that would not require the raw manure days-to-harvest restriction would be using composted or processed manure.

Note: FSMA regulations, state, and local regulations were not evaluated or addressed in this best practice.
