Manure
As manure in the middle Bavarian language area also Odl , südmeißnisch Sudel , in Alemannic -speaking manure or Bschütti , the Rhineland puddle refers to a collection of liquid excrement ( urine and possibly bloated feces ) of animals and humans in corresponding catch basin ( cesspools ). There is a smelly, brown liquid. The mixture is occasionally pumped out into liquid manure drums or other containers with a suction pipe and distributed as fertilizer on meadows and fields. Manure is also used to produce biogas.
There are regional differences in the use of the word in the German language. Above all, the demarcation from liquid manure is clearer in the north than in the south. The contents of septic tanks in residential buildings that are not connected to the sewer system are sometimes referred to as manure.
Manure ( plant manure ) is also used to describe fermenting approaches of plant material with water for horticultural purposes. One example is nettle manure , which is used as a natural spray against plant parasites.
Difference between liquid manure and liquid manure
In areas where manure is understood exclusively as plant manure, (only) manure refers to a mixture of animal excrement ( excrement and urine ) as well as water and sometimes also litter such as straw. It usually comes about through so-called alluvial manure. Manure consists almost entirely of urine from z. B. cattle.
In this sense, liquid manure and liquid manure differ significantly in their nutrient content. The manure is more concentrated and therefore richer in potassium and nitrogen . Liquid manure has a higher dry matter content because it also contains manure and often straw (litter) or similar materials. The nutrients are partially mineralized through fermentation processes, i.e. converted into inorganic forms (ammonium, nitrate, phosphate) and are therefore immediately available to the plants. In today's agriculture , liquid manure predominates as a farm's own fertilizer , especially since it comes from a simplified barn technology.
Liquid manure as a plant extract
Also called liquid manure is a preparation from water and parts of plants , which is used for various purposes in horticulture and agriculture . It is like a cold-water extract recognized with cold water, but is fermented up to 14 days in order to extract as much of the nutrients and active ingredients contained in the used plant.
Plants often used in manure are nettles (mainly fertilizing due to their relatively high nitrogen content) or field horsetail (due to the plant-strengthening silica ).
