Abstract
The objective of the Teagasc Manure (and Other Organic Wastes)
Management Guidelines for IAE are to provide an operational
framework for the agronomically efficient and environmentally
safe recycling of these organic by-products, maximising the
benefits of nutrients they contain at minimum cost. The principles
of the approach are equally applicable to the management of all
manures and organic wastes applied to land. The approach
includes programmes for controlling manure quantity and
quality; operational procedures covering storage, transport and
nutrient management; and a quality assurance programme.
These Guidelines assign the importance of manure management
on an equal footing with other production practices.
Implementation of these Guidelines may entail higher costs
c o m p a red with traditional practices. However, some of the
benefits accruing from the improved management practices can
partly or wholly offset the costs of implementation.
