Project Title

Development of a demand-oriented and impact-related liquid fertilization (Green Cycle)

Project description

The amendment of the new Fertilizer Ordinance restricts time of application and basic possibilities for spreading organic liquid fertilizer. The presently used application methods causing a nitrate shift into the groundwater. The aim of the project is the development of a demand-oriented and impact-related liquid fertiliser technology for the utilisation of organic liquid fertiliser in agricultural crops. The specially prepared liquid manure and biogas eluates is to be applied as an addition to conventional irrigation. Further goals are cost-effective processing and separation of organic liquid fertilizers and the conditioning and application according to real crop demand. In order to use organic liquid fertilizers efficiently for perfect plant growth, a quantity of nutrients must be applied that is precisely tailored to the needs of the plants. Therefore, an innovative fertilizer system will be developed in this project, which meets these actual requirements. Supported by the latest sensor technologies and rapid test procedures for plant nutrients, real-time monitoring and GIS-supported soil management programmes, a nutrient management and balancing system will be set up.
