How to quickly plow manure to avoid food losses?

The nutritional composition of manure is lost at every stage. It is not the case that this only happens during fertilization, because losses are associated with every stage, including storage and transport. However, it is during the spreading itself that the greatest losses may occur if we do not mix the manure quickly enough.

The greatest losses of ammonium nitrogen occur immediately after application, during the first few hours. If the temperatures are very high and there is a lot of sunlight, the nitrogen loss may be as much as 15-20% within the first hour. In turn, after 12 hours of leaving manure on the surface without any mixing (and at a high temperature at the same time), it may result in N losses of 40, and even in extreme cases 50%. It is worth noting, however, that the greatest losses will concern chicken manure. In the case of cattle and pig manure, these losses will be smaller.

The losses are related to ammonia emissions, because it is nitrogen in the ammonium form that escapes into the atmosphere. Of course, ammonium nitrogen is not responsible for all the nitrogen in manure, so the loss mainly concerns part of the total nitrogen. The losses related to the remaining nutrients contained in the natural fertilizer are marginal. Regardless of what the regulations assume, as part of the practice of mixing manure within 12 hours on arable land, efforts should be made to plow in the natural fertilizer as quickly as possible in the conditions currently prevailing.

How deep should you plow manure?

Generally, we plow deeper on lighter soils than on heavy soils. This is due to the fact that lighter sites are airy, and in shallow soil layers there may be too much air access, which will excessively accelerate the decomposition of manure. At the same time, in shallow soil layers in light locations, water deficit may be a problem. And the lack of adequate moisture will lead to the opposite phenomenon, i.e. poor decomposition. In turn, in heavier sites, manure should be mixed at a shallower depth. In deeper layers of soil on heavier soils, the problem may be limited access to air, which in turn will contribute to the deterioration of the quality of decomposition. So: on lighter soils, plowing should be carried out deeper, while on heavy soils, the plowing should be appropriately shallow.

How quickly does manure decompose?

This depends on several factors. Of course, soil moisture is crucial, but also the plowing depth mentioned above. Generally, manure decomposition on light soils takes a relatively short time, often only a few weeks. However, in heavy duty positions, we must take into account that full decomposition will take up to several months.
