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 ...
The planter or the seeder operates on the tractor's PTO shaft which rotates the belts and gears that distribute seeds. Spreaders for manure: A spreader is used to spread manure across fields to help fertilize crops. The spreader is driven by the tractor PTO shaft, which is turned by the chains and gears that distribute the ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...

Abstract Accumulation of phosphorus (P) in agricultural soils has caused increasing environmental concerns. 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 ...
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. Resources and the environment are very important for human survival. The organic fertilizer production process not ...
He can now feed out in the feed way and spread the hay across his operation. Having a Round Bale Feeder which is easier to use than any other type chain feeder on the market today. ...
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 ...

A series of simulated rainfall-runoff experiments with applications of different manure types (cattle solid pats, poultry dry litter, swine slurry) was conducted across four seasons on a field containing 36 plots (0.75 × 2 m each), resulting in 144 rainfall-runoff events. Simulating time-varying release of Escherichia coli, enterococci, and fecal coliforms from manures applied at typical ...
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. Riparian zone plants could remove hormonally active compounds from agricultural runoff. Therefore, sorption to roots, uptake, translocation, and transformation of three estrogens (17β‐estradiol, ...
Rapid socio-economic development in suburban areas of developing countries has induced changes in agricultural waste and nutrient management, resulting in water pollution. The study aimed at estimating agricultural nutrient cycles and their contribution to the water environment. A material flow model of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) was developed focusing on agricultural activities from ...

The southern rangelands of Kenya are prone to frequent droughts leading to serious food shortages. The effect of the farmer practice (flat seedbed), tied-ridging and contour furrows water harvesting techniques and five integrated nutrient management practices on the performance of rain-fed maize was studied at the southern rangelands of Kenya (Kibwezi) during the 2006 short rainy season. Both ...
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 ...
