ABSTRACT AN injection tool is designed to cut, lift, disturb, and redeposit soil, mix it with liquid manure in layers up to 15 cm thick and to cover the manure with a soil having a stable structure. Field test results from a prototype model were demonstrated to verify force requirements, slurry distribution and cover perform-ance of this device.
