Research need from Focus Group: Explore practical tools that can be applied on-farm (farm-scale recovery, measurements, application equipment, etc.)

As the EIP-AGRI Network has become part of the EU CAP Network, this website will no longer be updated after 1 April 2023. It will remain available in a static form as a reference of all previous EIP-AGRI activities. All interactive features such as the login, the main search function of the website, and the advanced filtering of the databases (e.g. project database and collaborative areas) will no longer be available. You will find all the new and up-to-date information on the EU CAP Network website.

This is the problem:

This need for research has been identified in FG 19 on “Nutrient recycling”. If you want to know more about it, check the final report of the Focus Group.

Some of the major hurdles of implementing nutrient recycling schemes can be found in the uncertainties at farm level regarding composition (variability) and speciation of nutrients and organic carbon in manure, materials such as digestates or composts and in soil. Development of easy-to-use and affordable tools which can be applied at the farm therefore require further attention: e.g. to maintain an overview of composition, speciation and ratios of nutrients and organic carbon in manure storage or storage of derived products.
