Mr. Leach, Myerscough College:
“The results are very encouraging and we are continuing the research to monitor the improvements in N value. The trial findings are also very timely; soaring ammonium nitrate costs have led us to bring our fertiliser strategy under review.”

Mr. Phillips:
“Since using Slurry Bugs in my slatted tanks, pumping is far easier which saves time and fuel. I only need to stir every 3rd emptying which means the nitrogen stays in the slurry instead of being lost as ammonia. The real value of the Slurry Booster System can be seen with my maize when I grow using only slurry for fertiliser. All fields in 2007 (a very wet summer) produced 20 tonnes per acre with the best at 34% DM, 36% starch. Now it is even more important to preserve the nutrients in the slurry and save on fertiliser costs.”
