CZ145-BIOHYDROLYSATE/BIHY

Innovative utilization of hydrolysate from animal waste for improvement of agricultural soil quality

Description

Bioadditive hydrolysate from animal waste is tested to improve soil quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions across different soil types and crops.

Sector

A1.1Growing of non-perennial crops

Needs/ Problem statement

Agricultural soils face declining physical, chemical, and biological quality and contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. There is a need for an efficient, long‑lasting soil amendment that stabilizes post‑harvest biomass, improves soil health, and reduces emissions across various soil and crop types.

Objective

To test the efficiency and longevity of a hydrolysate‑based bioadditive derived from animal waste in improving soil quality and health, and to verify its ability to stabilize post‑harvest biomass and reduce greenhouse gas emissions across different soil and crop types.
