Well-ripened liquid manure, and if necessary slurry, are welcome fertilisers when it comes to giving winter-sown crops a developmental boost in spring. Winterkill damage and thinned-out stands — the result of alternating frosts in spring — can be stimulated toward more intensive tillering. For this, the urea serves. This nitrogen compound, mineralized from protein metabolism, receives its specific efficacy through the astral forces that originate in the soul body of the animals and that configure the material composition of the urine within which the nitrogen is bound. A further field of application is stubble fertilization with a view to the rapid development of a green manure catch crop. On pasture, the

application of liquid manure in early spring is helpful, and where appropriate in rotational grazing after each move.
