Replacing Mineral Fertilisers for Bio-Based Fertilisers in Potato Growing on Sandy Soil: A Case Study [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2021 The refinement level of bio-based fertilisers (BBFs) can influence environmental and agronomic performance. This study analyses the environmental and agronomic effect of different BBFs on potato growing in sandy soil.

Stimulation of Maize Growth and Development and Improvement of Soil Properties Using New Specialised Organic-Mineral Materials [PDF]
MoleculesThe use of mineral fertilisers has increased in recent years, but this has had a negative effect on the environment, including causing the water in rivers and lakes to become too rich in nutrients, a process known as eutrophication.

Abstract Use of fertiliser is essential for global crop productivity; however, their use is unsustainable through high energy costs from sourcing, nitrous oxide emissions during application, and the potential to cause eutrophication if used in excess.

Organic and Mineral Soil Fertilisation in Gladiolus [PDF]
Compost Science & Utilization, 2011 Research was undertaken for the purpose of assessing, from a bioagronomic point of view, the effect of some organic fertilisers, obtained from purified urban wastewater sludge and of biodegradable mulch on the growth and yield of gladiolus cut flowers, with a view to promoting the development of a sustainable floriculture in Mediterranean environments.

The Crop Journal, 2023 Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for maize production, but in temperate areas the P uptake during early growing stages can be limited due to low soil temperature, even though the soil was tested high in P. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of nitrogen and phosphorous (NP) starter fertilisation during early growth stages and ...

Effects of mixed pulp mill sludges on crop yields and quality
Agricultural and Food Science, 2020 There is a great need for sustainable fertilisers and soil amendments, as current fertilisation practices negatively affect the environment. Pulp mill sludges (PMS) could provide a means to replace fertilisers made using non- renewable resources while ...
