One of the basic principles of sustainable agriculture is to focus on the use of natural plant nutrients. This is usually provided by animal manure. Liquid animal manure, which is rich in nitrogen, is unfortunately left in ditches and streams without being utilized in our country. The lack of information on the storage of liquid animal manure and the inadequacy of legal regulations cause excessive fertilizer application to the lands near the animal farms and intense pollution of the environment. Pollution of underground and surface waters threatens human and animal health in all nearby areas, especially farms. Therefore, it is important for livestock enterprises to have suitable liquid manure tanks. Liquid manure kept in warehouses should be able to be given to agricultural lands in accordance with the needs of the soil and the plant, with liquid dispenser tanks. For this purpose, there has been a great increase in the manufacture and import of solid manure distribution trailers and liquid manure distribution tanks in recent years. In this study, a domestically produced liquid fertilizer spreader with a tractor-towed type 8000 L capacity rear impact plate distribution was used. During the field studies, parameters such as working times of the machine at three different speeds (3, 6 and 9 km/h), effective work success, fertilization flow rates, fertilization capacities (ton/ha and ton/h), skidding rates were determined. According to the results obtained, the effective working time, effective work success, fertilization capacity per unit area and fertilization capacity per unit time of the machine at 6 km/h forward speed were found to be 0.19 h/ha, 5.26 ha/h, 17.5 tons/ha and 126.0 tons/h, respectively. .
One of the basic principles of sustainable agriculture is to an emphasis on the use of natural plant nutrients. This is generally provided by the animal manure. Liquid animal manure, which is rich in nitrogen, is unfortunately thrown into ditches and rivers without making use of it in our country. Lack of information regarding the liquid animal manure storage and the inadequacy of legal regulations cause the excessive manure applications and the intense environmental pollution on lands near the animal farms. Pollution of groundwater and surface water threatsens the human and animal health in all nearby regions, especially the farms. Therefore, the fact that livestock plants have appropriate liquid manure storages is important. The liquid manure kept in storages should be able to be spread on agricultural lands with liquid spreader tanks according to the need of soil and plant. For this purpose, in recent years, there have been massive increases in manufacture and importation of solid manure spreading trailers and liquid manure spreading tanks. In this study, a domestic manufactured, tractor pulled type, rear-flapper spreading, and liquid manure spreader tank with a capacity of 8000 L was used. In the field studies carried out, parameters at different three feed rates (3, 6 and 9 km/h) of the machine were determined such as the operating time, effective operation achievements, manuring flow rates, manuring capacities (tons/ha and tons /h) and spinning rates. According to the obtained results, the effective operating time at 6 km/h feed rate, the effective operation achievements, the manuring capacity per unit area and the manuring capacity per unit of time were observed as 0.19 h/ha, 5.26 ha/h, 17.5 tons/ha and 126.0 tons/h, respectively.
