Main subject area: Agronomic performance of major crops and their phosphorous and nitrogen nutrition after fertilisation with pretreated organic waste
To recycle organic wastes as fertilisers to high-value food crops a major field trial is conducted at AU-Auning with onion, corn and faba bean. The aim is to investigate the fertiliser efficiency of pretreated and untreated waste products of biochar, biogas fibre and meat and bone meal. The study will focus on crop growth and uptake of phosphorous and nitrogen as well as crop yields.
