Production of a tailor-made pelletised bio-fertiliser for woody crops
Description
Converting cattle manure and other organic waste to bio-fertilizer
Sector
A1.6Support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities
Needs/ Problem statement
Waste recovery of cattle manure and other organic waste, to increase the biological and physical-chemical quality of agricultural soils, to improve the management of livestock manure and in the agricultural sector to use organic fertilisers instead of mineral fertilisers
Objective
To convert a composting plant into one that produces high-quality pelletised tailor-made fertilisers (TMF) from cattle manure to be used in the fertilisation of woody crops such as vines and apples.
