Muck T/Ha ?

[murphy]

What rates does everyone put on rotted cattle muck ? Were told to put put on around 100T/Ha but this looks far too much when we do it and often see it ploughing back up next year.

horse it on

 

[Devon Gurfallo]

Agronimist told me 25T ha. For cereal. Maize about 40

Nvz?

I'm sure you meant 25T/ha which would be a reasonable dose.

100 tonnes per hectare of cattle FYM would supply what I would describe as a veritable ship-load of potash just for starters.

Seem to think the rb209 limit for cattle muck in an nvz was about 40t/ha.

Need a fair tump of muck to do a modest sized field with 100t/Ha . Alot of the weight would be water i would guess. I have put 35-40t / acre on in the past but you cant plough it until it crisps over abit

get it tested before you do anything, RB209 says 6 kg/t N, 3.2 kg/t P and 9.4 kg/t K - result I have just received back from lab is 3.2 N, 0.9 P and 4.9 K so a big difference, likewise poultry muck @ 75% DM says 35 N, 20 P and 26 K came back 32 N, 33P and 21 K so well worth getting it tested

I should imagine it depends a lot on what the livestock was fed. We use very little concentrates so am considering sending off a sample to see myself.

Lather it on!!!

 

[Northern territory]

Definitely lather it on. A liberal dose before fodder beet
Always helps here.

 

[Drillman]

We always apply whatever the legal limit is, never a kilo per hectare more. But also never less

 

[tr250]

Personally think you get more benefit putting less on more often I wouldn’t know what to quote but I’m fairly sure the boffs say so too. So I’d divide my muck to fit how many acres you have easily available

 

[carpenter1]

How much do you put on grass land for hay next year, around September time?

 

[Chae1]

I generally aim for max 10t/acre.

I generally aim for max 10t/acre.

a heaped spreader load then?

 

[Cowabunga]

I have seven year's worth of loose housing muck to spread after third cut this year. It will be going on at about 30tons/ha 12t/acre or thereabouts. Certainly no more. I probably have about 600 tons in the heap. About 50 12 ton loads to spread over 50 acres. Nice easy calculation.

 

[czechmate]

100t/ha would be an extraordinary amount!

 

[mo!]

Little and often here. Only the beans that don't get some.
