Manure, being a waste in animal husbandry, at the same time serves as an ideal environmentally friendly fertilizer for farmers. The classic version of its use (removal):
- Collection by hand.
- Loading for transportation.
- Unloading and distribution over the cultivated area.
A rather laborious process that requires the mobilization of labor resources, it is considered today not efficient and is being replaced in many leading farms by the so-called hose method of processing and distributing manure in the fields (details about it can be found on this site . The technology was successfully applied in the 70s of the last century by North American farmers and has already been adopted by many domestic farmers.
The basic principle of the system
The manure produced by the livestock farm is fed into a special separate pit or open natural lowland, which is commonly called a "dung lagoon". By separating in a sump or adding water to the "lagoon", it is given a more liquid uniform consistency, suitable for pumping through flexible pipelines (hoses). The submission scheme is as follows:
- From the storage site, the liquefied manure is transported by means of a pumping autonomous diesel station along the main pipeline (the direction can be changed, the length reaches 5 km) to the cultivated field.
- A flexible hose is laid on the field itself, connected to the main pipeline on one side and a distribution unit (according to the principle of the device, it is analogous to irrigation equipment).
As the manure is distributed to the field, the hose moves along with the installation, towed by a tractor or tractor. Fertilizer is applied by surface application (irrigation) or by subsoil method using special injectors of various productivity (diameter).
What is the equipment for the hose method of delivery and distribution of manure in the fields, you can find out using the official website of its manufacturer, as well as a supplier to the domestic market.
