Website offers nutrient management informationAg-Chem has enhanced its website www.agchem.com. The site now includes a section dedicated to the TerraGator Nutrient Management System (NMS), providing more information on proper application of bio-solid nutrients and the key role it plays in overall nutrient management plans. The site offers information on the four-step process the TerraGator NMS uses to accurately apply those nutrients where they are needed in an environmentally friendly fashion. The TerraGator NMS handles a wide range of materials including poultry manure, bedding manure, cake bio-solids, lime and lime sludge, compost and organic by-products. The NMS can apply liquid or solid material easily and efficiently, up to 80 feet wide with some systems, and application rates easily adjust from one to 30 tons per acre. The site provides information, photos and downloads on the fully integrated system. It includes the two TerraGator chassis models--the 4-wheeled 3244 and the 5-wheeled 9205 chassis. The SGIS GTA 500 software measures crop nutrient removals, soil test levels and environmentally sensitive areas to create application maps. The NMS system can then inject bio-solids directly onto grasslands, arable land, small grains and corn stubble with different types of application systems--dry, liquid and spinner--according to the prescribed maps. Exploiting the nutrient value contained in waste products is at the core of the TerraGator NMS system, ensuring bio-solids are used wisely to encourage plant growth and minimize environmental impacts. "The NMS injection application technology aids in reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases; including carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane from the bio-solids," Sinclair says. "This may qualify producers for carbon credits and other environmental incentives." For more information, or visit www.agchem.com. 6/30/08 Date: 6/24/08
