VR manure spreading
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 ...

cheap 50 72 128cell trays wholesale supplier
Due to the need for higher temperature, it is necessary to sprinkle some warm water on the leaves regularly. Plants placed in a dry environment can put a layer of wet small gravel in the flower pot to promote the growth of plants. Seedlings are planted from March to April in spring, or preferably from September to October in winter. Sowing before the frost season. In winter, please manage ...

Manure pump saves time and money
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 ...

Pond fertilization / Aquaculture
Just as fish need good water quality conditions to thrive, they also need an abundant supply of food to grow. We can provide food for our fish in two different ways: We can give them “artificial” feeds that are prepared either commercially or at home, or we can ensure that they have an abundance of natural foods by using fertilizers to increase pond productivity. In either case, it is ...

Side-band injection of acidified cattle slurry as starter P-fertilization for maize seedlings
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 ...

The role of organic fertilizer production equipment for agriculture
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 ...

Strategies to help you improve feed efficiency in livestock
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 ...

Rainfall-induced release of microbes from manure: model development, parameter estimation, and uncertainty evaluation on small plots
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 ...

Sorption, uptake and biotransformation of 17β‐estradiol, 17α‐ethinylestradiol, zeranol and trenbolone acetate by hybrid poplar
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, ...

Transition of fertilizer application and agricultural pollution loads: a case study in the Nhue-Day River basin
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 ...

Evaluation of climate change impacts and adaptation strategies for maize cultivation in the Himalayan foothills of India
This study evaluates the impacts of climate change on rainfed maize (Zea mays) yield and evaluates different agro-adaptation measures to counteract its negative impacts at Sikkim, a Himalayan state of India. Future climate scenarios for the 10 years centered on 2025, 2055 and 2085 were obtained by downscaling the outputs of the HadCM3 General Circulation Model (GCM) under for A2 and B2 ...

Appropriate integrated nutrient management and field water harvesting options for maize production mitigating drought in the semi-arid southern rangelands of eastern Kenya
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 ...

Inflate, deflate tire pressure quickly from cab
The in-cab air inflation-deflation system is available for ag implements that need soft tires in the fields and higher pressure for transit. | Ron Lyseng photo No long wait times | The AAID system releases air from the tire into the atmosphere instead of back through the system GUELPH, Ont. — Soft low-pressure implement tires are best in the field. Harder higher pressure tires are ...

The effect of poultry manure application rate and AlCl3 treatment on bacterial fecal indicators in runoff
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 ...

Regulating the land application of manure from animal production facilities in the USA
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 ...
