Waste on farms typically arises from the normal use of inputs, but it also refers to packaging, containers, crop film, bale wrap building materials tyres, timber, manures not spread on land, etc. – anything you intend to discard. ...
Growing conditions have been perfect over the last few weeks, so fertiliser has been going on ‘a plenty’ but have you a Nutrient Management plan (NMP) in place? Many businesses have signed up to nutrient planning as part of their Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) agreement, and the Environment Agency is looking very closely at NMP’s when they are inspecting ...
A 6-Series PTO (Power Take-Off) shaft is a form of the shaft made of metal that is utilized for transferring power to a tractor or another source of power to a device or attachment. Its "6 Series" designation refers to the standard dimensions and specs of the shaft such as its length, diameter, and the spline's profile. PTO shafts of the 6 Series are often employed in agricultural applications ...
Variable rate manure spreading could be a good option for your farm Today’s fertilizer prices may be just the incentive needed for some farmers to explore the benefits of variable rate manure spreading. Manure can be a rich source of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, as well as trace nutrients. It has the additional benefit of improving soil quality by boosting ...
An introduction into the world of farming abbreviations Farming has become increasingly challenging over the past number of years, not only have raw materials seen huge increases in cost but protecting livestock from outbreaks and a range of diseases can also have a massive financial burden on farmers. For many, having onsite incineration is essential for confidence, biosecurity and to obtain ...
Pay attention to soil loosening and weeding at seedling stage after 15 gallon nursery pots flowering management. Apply farm manure once after planting; After harvest in summer, apply livestock manure or ammonium sulfate, urea, etc. once; Apply rotten fertilizer or compost in winter. ...
It is becoming increasingly difficult to spread manure in many countries due to new regulations and a shortened spreading season. The Smits family in the Netherlands was looking for a way to spread digestate more efficiently. We came up with a great solution for this; by pumping manure underground over long distances. This saves time and money and has less impact on the ...
Apply available animal manure to the fish pond at a rate of 50 g of dry matter per m2 per week. This is equivalent to 5 kg/100m2/week. Apply the manure to your pond in one of the following ways: Spread dry manure on the pond floor before filling with water. Spread (broadcast) dry manure on ...

Maize cropped for fodder implies return of animal manures rich in nutrients. In addition, starter fertilization with mineral P is used in cold conditions for maize cropping. It was hypothesized that the use of the additional mineral P could be excluded by increased availability of the P applied by animal manures. In a growth chamber experiment we ...
Organic fertilizer production equipment specializes in the treatment of livestock and poultry manure. Organic fertilizer equipment uses livestock and poultry manure to produce organic fertilizer, and then organic fertilizer to protect the soil, making the soil more and more fertile. ...
Why is time so precious for Dan Hedgespeth, a part-time farmer in Kentucky who has chosen a Hustler SL360X chain feeder to help him save time and be efficient on his operation... Dan Hedgespeth has a 50-acre operation, raising 25 cow calves. Being a part-time farmer, he gets the help of his 4 kids to manage the farm, but it is not enough. Having the SL360X bale processor as part of his ...
One of the largest expenses for a farming operation is feed. Having the right feed can make the difference between breeding a heifer this month or a few months down the road. It allows your chickens to grow quickly to reach their full size. It helps your sheep produce beautiful wool instead of an unmarketable mess. But how do you balance the scale between feed expense on one end and ...

Simulating time-varying release of Escherichia coli, enterococci, and fecal coliforms from manures applied at typical agronomic rates evaluated the efficacy of the Bradford–Schijven model modified by adding terms for release efficiency and transportation loss. ...
Hormonally active compounds may move with agricultural runoff from fields with applied manure and biosolids into surface waters where they pose a threat to human and environmental health. ...
The results showed that the proportion of nutrients from compost/manure applied to paddy fields decreased from 85 to 41% for both N and P between 1980 and 2010. ...

Tied-ridging had the highest positive effect on yield. A combined application of manure and inorganic fertilisers at either 5 or 10 t ha –1 plus 20 kg N plus 20 kg P 2 O 5 kg ha –1 had the most positive effect on yields. In the absence of inorganic fertilisers, a minimum of manure at 10 t ha –1 should be applied on maize. The ...
Increasing costs associated with inorganic fertilizer have led to widespread use of broiler litter. Proper land application, typically limiting nutrient loss, is essential to protect surface water. This study was designed to evaluate litter-borne microbial runoff (heterotrophic plate count bacteria, staphylococci, Escherichia coli, enterococci, and Clostridium perfringens) while applying ...
Water pollution from the land application of manure has been cited as an issue that needs to be addressed. Judicial challenges have forced the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to adopt additional controls governing concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). State agencies have also been directed to do more to minimize the risk of pollution from animal production. In developing ...
“Studies were conducted on nutrient management for the state to determine how many acres were available for manure spreading. Based on the results, which showed that there wasn’t enough land, we decided to investigate composting as an option for managing and exporting our nutrients.” Besides regulatory issues, the Jacquier family had several other interests in ...
