Requirements for the efficient use of manure slurry
-
accurate metering of manure slurry discharge
-
complying to the correct spreading times
-
slurry mixing before spreading
-
exact, gentle and constant spreading with a minimal impact on the environment
Saving systematically:
Exact spreading by using Vogelsang pays itself off. Reduced ammonia evaporation and an efficient use of nutriments in connection with insensitivity to wind and constant spreading forms an optimal spreading. The seedlings are damaged less and the crops are soiled less.
The table below shows the financial benefits when manure slurry is spread with a dribble bar rather than using a splash plate or conventional spreading.
