Yes, you can use manure as a source of 'fertilizer', but it is
"*FERTILIZERS (INORGANIC)", it belongs to " *RESIDUES AND OTHER ORGANIC
MATERIALS" in FILEX files.  There are basically three kinds of
manures---green, barnyard and liquid (see DSSAT3 manual, Vol. 2, page
86).  You need to decide which kind for yourself.
