Efficient Use of Renewable Fertilisers

Key Points

• The research aims to evaluate the efficiency of converting livestock manure into renewable fertilisers for agricultural use.
• Converted livestock manure via anaerobic digestion and microfiltration.
• Applied the created fertiliser through fertigation using subsurface dripline or sprinkler systems.
• Monitored irrigation water savings and reductions in chemical fertiliser use, ammonia emissions, and nitrate leaching.
• Significant reduction in chemical fertiliser usage compared to traditional methods.
• Lower ammonia emissions observed when using the developed fertiliser.
• Reduced nitrate leaching into the environment during application.
