Extract

Increasing public interest and more anti-pollution legislation sharpen the need to avoid pollution. Soil, water and air are at risk.

Apart from plant nutrient considerations, secondary effects of water-logging and oxygen depletion of the soil can occur. Slurry tankers can cause damage to the field surface by rutting. Some tankers exert pressures of 70 psi on the soil and then are often used on wet soils. Such malpractices create extra costs to rectify extra problems created.
