Application methods improve compost use
Article Abstract:
Special equipment for applying compost is rapidly being developed to maximize the advantageous use of compost in agriculture and horticulture. Units for the spreading of specific compost products include Flail, slinger, spinner, brush, beater drum/rotating cylinder and pneumatic/blower types. Several factors affect the choice of application method: physical characteristics of compost product, state of the field, and application size and type. Compatibility of compost product with the applicator should be ensured to have better end results.
