Problems with slurry

Slurry treated with penac-g

Slurry is in a rotting condition (anaerobic)

Unpleasant ammonia and sulphur smell

Crusty layer as well as increasing layer of sediment present

Frequent agitation necessary

Scorching of plants and microbes

Possible loss of nutrients

Contamination of soil and water

Slurry becomes aerobic and decomposes

Good composting smell

Slurry homogenizes; formation of bubbles and blisters – forming crust

Later sediments will dissolve

No scorching not even in hot weather

Nutrients are contained and become available to plants

Humus build up in the soil, no water contamination

First Use

Regular Application (min fortnightly)

1-1.5kg penac-g/100m³ slurry mixed in a bucket of water must go under the crust.

5g penac-g /LSU weekly or 1kg /100m³

Mix penac-g in a watering can or bucket, stir and distribute evenly over the canal. A better result is

achieved when 2/3 of the recommended amount is applied through the in-flow canal.

Numerous holes must be made through the crust. Apply the penac-g mixed with water by pouring it so that it gets under the crust.

The penac-g and water mixture should be applied with the agitator running or where there is no agitator, poke a large pipe through the crust and apply the mixture, then if using a transporter, suck the mixture back, mix and re-apply to the pit. Large dams should be inoculated in various places.

Mix penac-g with water and distribute evenly. Repeat after emptying.
