Utilization of bedded cattle confinement for organic manure of maize crop
Mota,Vania C.; Andrade,Ednilton T.; Pinto,Sandra M.; Abreu,Luiz R. de; Leite,Daniel F.ABSTRACT The use of organic wastes from housing systems in a compost bedded pack barn model could supply much of the fertiliser demand in the farm.
