This work focuses on Intensive Specialized Highland Dairy (IS-HD) and Intensive Specialized Lowland Dairy (IS-LD). The IS-HD and IS-LD dairy types encompass the bulk of milk production in Costa Rica (CR) (CNPL 2019). The aim of this study is to evaluate the profitability of purine irrigation by tubes and canons. We elaborated two models that represent the farms in the two regions mentioned above. A CBA study was conducted on these models to evaluate the viability and feasibility of manure applications. 2019-12-19T20:18:03Z 2019-12-19T20:18:03Z 2019 Tesis de maestría https://repositorio.catie.ac.cr/handle/11554/9297 en info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess 45 páginas application/pdf Turrialba, Costa Rica Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE)
