Project code: 2805UM003
Contract period: 01.01.2006 - 30.04.2009
Budget: 45,708 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research

Specific proposal for a targeted use of manure is still missing the ability to directly measure the ingredients and then being able to control the application on the basis of levels of nutrients. In this project, therefore, the practical testing of a method for planting and environmentally sound application of manure and biogas digester substrates sought. What is new is that a flow-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) sensor in the slurry outlet of a metering device is equipped with integrated slurry tanker. The slurry sensor provides continuous, real-time data on the composition of effluent slurry. To nutrient-driven spreading of manure sensor data are compared with the control electronics in the stored reference variables. The goal is to identify a global calibration, can be measured with the nutrients in pig, cattle manure and biogas.
