Sustainable Crop Production
Plant nutrients such as phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium contained in organic residues of agricultural production are highly valuable fertilizers. While either costly to produce or of limited availability, these nutrients can cause problematic nutrient surpluses in soil or water.
Fraunhofer Portugal AWAM will investigate process technologies that utilize manure and fermentation products to convert these substances into:
> Transportable and storable fertilizers;
> High quality products with defined properties;
> Agriculturally usable irrigation or fertirrigation water.
