Project Title

Returning soll biology using the Johnson-SU compost process with various application methods

Project description

Concept development
On most agricultural land, the soil microbiome is weak and fungi in particular suffer under current management practices. Dr. David C. Johnson (New Mexico State University), the founder of the "Johnson-SU compost", has shown in trials in New Mexico that this method can save a large part of the known NPK fertilisation and pesticides. Therefore it shall be test, how Johnson-SU compost promotes a revival of microbiome under the regional conditions and thus leads to improved plant health. Aim of the project it to develop a concept which addresses the following questions:
• What framework conditions/infrastructure must be established for the research project?
• Which test methods have proven themselves with regard to the storage of compost extract?
• Which extraction techniques are well usable and target-oriented?
• Which application techniques are user-friendly and promising?
