Application of innovated fermentation technologies as an alternative for production of growing media for edible mushrooms, medicinal and aromatic herbs, and root vegetables

Description

Use liquid part of digestate – fugate originated from the biogas plant.

Sector

A1.6Support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities

Needs/ Problem statement

Among the difficult tasks are the application of fugate (a by-product of biogas production) and the dependence on peat (a non-renewable natural resource).

Objective

Cultivation of medicinal, aromatic and spice plants in a growing medium based on waste materials from a biogas station as a substitute for peat.
