Granulated manure vs raw manure

Ease of application, water content and nutrient concentration. Compare the two forms of manure and follow the story of two farmers.

  1. Granulated
    The younger farmer uses a phone in the farmyard; the panel shows his choice of granulated manure in a big bag.
  2. Raw
    The older farmer stands beside a large heap of raw manure in the farmyard.

Benefits and comparison

  • Easy application

    Granulated Manure is easy to use and spreads very well.

  • Free from weeds and pests

    GRANULATED MANURE is free from insect eggs and larvae, nematodes and other pathogens, as well as weed seeds.

  • High concentration of nutrients

    One ton of Granulated Manure is produced from processing 10-15 tons of raw manure.

Comparison of GRANULATED MANURE with raw manure. Granulated manure does not differ chemically from raw manure from which it is produced. The difference lies in its new physical and biological characteristics such as: high concentration of nutrients (nearly comparable to mineral fertilizers), absence of pathogens, maximum reduction of water content (to structural water level). Very low dose per hectare compared to raw manure. WE OFFER GRANULATED POULTRY MANURE NPK 4-3-3 and GRANULATED CATTLE MANURE NPK 2-5-2.

Two farmers, two ways of working

  1. Granulated
    A close view of even young crop rows and clear soil between them on the granulated-manure side.
  2. Raw
    A close view of weeds growing between young crop rows on the raw-manure side.
  3. Two neighboring fields divided by a narrow grassy boundary: clean crop rows on the left and a weedy crop on the right, within one continuous landscape.
  4. Granulated
    The younger farmer stands contentedly beside orderly rows of crops.
  5. Raw
    The older farmer drives a red cab tractor with a mounted field sprayer; the extended boom sprays the weedy crop.
