Description
On grasslands, normal slurry tankers are used to apply slurry by means of splash plate. Combining slurry applications for a number of farmers by organising producers groups, is a starting point of better slurry applications. Precise slurry application methods, including the usage of slurry tank equipped with drag hose unit, result in a better quality of plant material collected from grasslands and higher dry matter yield, while saving working time and reducing the use of mineral nitrogen fertilizer. Fertilization carried out by a trained person, regular laboratory slurry analysis increase the efficiency of the whole process. The precise slurry application methods are less harmful to the environment. This is relevant to the farmer in the context of the last change of legal nitrate regulations in Poland. The discussion during activity has also shown that such innovation can lead to less odour from slurry which is an issue in more densely populated areas.
