Glossary:Incorporation time of manure

Print this page

Immediate incorporation of manure consists of techniques which allow an immediate incorporation of solid manure or slurry. For effective abatement, the incorporation should happen as rapidly as possible. This means that the applied manure is directly incorporated by a manure or slurry spreading machine or the spreading machine is immediately followed by another machine incorporating the manure into the soil (chisel or disk ploughing).

The 4-hour threshold set out by experts can be considered as the approximate time limit to distinguish immediate incorporation.
