Ref No. 93 Field application: Surface spreading (trailing hoses)
Brief description
Description of the effect on leaching (positive or negative)
of N and P
In the term of field application, surface spreading using trailing hoses is one of several options. The
technology places the manure on the surface, between the rows of the crop.
Principle: Flexible rubber hoses are installed with an internal distance on app. 30 cm on a wide section (often
24 m), mounted behind on the manure tanker. The hoses are ‘trailing’ along the soil surface, while ‘laying’
the manure on the surface in rows, below the green part of the crop.
This technology significantly increases the field effect, if
compared to the reference of aerial spreading (splash plate).
The technology has very little, if any, effect on the leaching
of P, unlike shallow injection which is not covered here, but
is gaining popularity in practices.
