In addition to limiting compaction, the flexible hose system can reduce application time by eliminating return and fill time. Flexible hose waste application system. Incorporation and Injection Raw waste should be incorporated immediately to prevent odors and reduce nitrogen loss. Table 3 lists the nitrogen losses for different application methods. Surface-applied waste can be plowed under or waste can be injected just below the surface about 6 to 14 inches.
Injection deposits the waste beneath the soil surface without turning the soil over.
This minimizes disturbance of sod and other vegetation. As shown in Figure 2, sweeps create larger and shallower channels than chisels for waste injection. Channel shapes created by chisel and sweep injectors. Nitrogen losses during land application of wastes. Percent of nitrogen applied that is lost within 4 days of application.
