Good Practice on Biobased Fertilisers nº4: Managing nutrient availability rate from municipal sludge
Municipal sludge is a large source of nutrients. Unlike other organic fertilizers, municipal sludge has a stable composition, enabling precise adjustments to mineral fertilization. Nitrogen in organic fertilizer is available in different ways, and depending on which...
Good Practice on Biobased Fertilisers nº3: Pig slurry composition analyisis
Since 2022, it is mandatory in Spain to have a recent product analysis when applying organic fertilizers. However, this is not yet a common practice among farmers. Pig slurry, as a widely used organic fertilizer, play an important role in the fertilization strategy of...
Good Practice on Biobased Fertilisers nº2: Cut & carry fertilisers
Cut and carry fertilizers are organic fertilizers produced from plants. Those plants are often leguminous species. The plants are grown in one place and, after being harvested, transported to another location and applied as fertilizers. In between they might be dried...
Good Practice on Biobased Fertilisers nº1: Using and retaining crop residues
Depending on the crop, crop residues can contain considerable amounts of nutrients. The nutrients are for instance stored in leaves, which are after being harvested left on the field. When degrading, those nutrients become available for soil organisms and the...
