Lower application rates and multiple passes with irrigation equipment may also be necessary. The annual application rate at any site must not exceed the crop's annual nutrient requirements. On squeezing, no free water appears on soil but wet outline of ball is left on hand. Same as for coarse-textured soils at field capacity. Above field capacity Free water appears when soil is bounced in hand.
Free water is released with kneading.
Free water can be squeezed out. The nature of manure disposal contributes to the tendency of many operators to wait until holding facilities are full or overflowing before emptying them. Poor management of waste disposal by irrigation has resulted in pollution and dissatisfaction with the system. Irrigate wastes according to schedule and recommended application rates in the waste management plan. Do not irrigate during rain or on saturated soils.
