Claim Text:
1. A method of optimizing the quantity of slurry of manure to be distributed on ground to be fertilized with the aid of a manure-distributing vehicle having a supply container for storing the slurry of manure, comprising the following steps: analyzing the slurry of manure to be distributed by at least one sensor in the manure-distributing vehicle by determining average values of the contents of the entire slurry in the supply container of the manure-distributing vehicle at a point in time during filling of the supply container of the manure-distributing vehicle and at a point in time close before the distribution process of distributing the slurry of manure from the same supply container of the manure-distributing vehicle is started by activating a distributor device; comparing actual data of the contents of the slurry within the supply container obtained from the analysis with predefined contents data in an evaluation device; determining control data by the evaluation device as a function of the comparison of the actual data; forwarding the control data to an adjustable device by means of which a quantity of slurry of manure can be varied; and activating the distributor device by the adjustable device on the basis of the control data so that the quantity of slurry of manure to be distributed per unit of surface area from the supply container of the manure-distributing vehicle is regulated in accordance with the control data.
