Slurry hoses
Slurry hoses
In modern agriculture, the method of slurry piping is becoming increasingly important and popular. This development is by no means coincidental, but stems from a number of compelling advantages that enhance not only efficiency but also the sustainability of agricultural practices:
Soil conservation is at the forefront of the benefits of slurry piping. This method ensures gentle slurry application, thereby preserving soil structure and health. Compared to conventional distribution using a slurry tanker, hose application also enables a more efficient and faster working method, leading to significant time savings. Furthermore, applying slurry close to the soil reduces the risk of surface runoff and erosion, resulting in less water pollution and improved water quality. Another important aspect is the close-to-the-soil application of slurry.
Hose application allows the slurry to be applied directly close to the soil surface, which not only increases the efficiency of fertilisation but also reduces the risk of nutrient loss. This helps ensure that nutrients end up where they are needed, whilst minimising potential environmental impacts. The flexibility of slurry hosing allows farmers to adapt fertilisation more flexibly to the respective seasons and the needs of the crops. This adaptability is particularly advantageous in relation to the varying growth stages and the different requirements of the crops. In addition, slurry piping can also help to reduce the workload for farmers, as it offers the opportunity to plan and carry out fertilisation tasks more efficiently.
Investing in slurry hoses is therefore not just a financial decision, but also an investment in increasing yields and the sustainability of the farm. Furthermore, the precise and environmentally friendly application of slurry using PU slurry hoses such as the Eschbach Hilcodur Agri and Eschbach Hilcodur Agri Extra enables the management of even difficult terrain, such as slopes. Our Eschbach PU slurry hoses are characterised by their exceptional robustness and durability. The uniform thickness of the outer and inner layers, as well as the optimal protection of the pressure hose’s fabric, ensure reliable performance and longevity in demanding agricultural environments.
