APPLICATION: Granulated Manure is easy to use and spreads very well. All types of spreading can be used, both with mechanical spreaders and by hand. It is best applied before rain or, after spreading, the soil should be well watered. Under the influence of moisture, fertilizer granules expand several times, then break down and slowly release nutrients to the soil. If possible, cover the granules with an 8-10 cm layer of soil, especially in protected crops. Granulated Manure can be spread over the entire cultivation area or in furrows. It is important that the fertilizer does not come into direct contact with the root system - keep it at least 10 cm from the plant roots. Apply at least one week, and preferably 10 days, before sowing or planting. Granulated Manure can be used as a base fertilizer together with mineral or other organic fertilizers. Very good results are achieved when combined with fertigation. When using granulated manure as the base fertilizer, the start of fertigation can be postponed by 3-5 weeks.

Economic reasons for using granulated manure. The use of Granulated Manure combines all positive features of organic and mineral fertilization. Low dose per hectare and high concentration of nutrients. Simple and convenient spreading technique - using classic mineral fertilizer spreaders or manual application saves time and money. Trouble-free and safe storage. Long-lasting agronomic effect (even up to two years after application) and relatively low price (compared with synthetic fertilizers) make Granulated Manure the best possible choice.

Spreading in the field

  1. Granulated
    The younger farmer applies granulated manure using a tractor-mounted fertilizer spreader.
  2. Raw
    The older farmer drives a tractor towing a spreader that distributes straw-rich raw manure behind the machine.
