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 ...

Superior residual fertiliser value in soil with phosphorus recycled from urine in layered double hydroxides

Scientific Reports, 2022
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) of magnesium (Mg) and aluminium (Al) are ion exchangers that can be used as slow release phosphorus (P) fertilisers. These LDHs can be used successfully to concentrate P from waste streams such as urine.

Nutrient Potential Leachability in a Sandy Soil Amended with Manure-Based Fertilisers

Agronomy, 2023
The application of manure-based fertilisers (MBFs) is considered an important practice for achieving agricultural sustainability. However, the potential losses of nutrients to the environment need to be thoroughly evaluated.

Monitoring of Finnish arable land: changes in soil quality between 1987 and 1998 [PDF]

, 2002
This study is part of the long-term monitoring of Finnish arable land and it is based on soil analyses of 705 monitoring sites sampled in 1998. The same sites were sampled twice previously,in 1974 and 1987.

THE INFLUENCE OF DIFFERENTIATED FERTILISATION ON THE SUGAR LEVEL IN THE MUST, FOR THE ALIGOTE AND FETEASCA ALBA VARIETIES, UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF THE IASI VINEYARD [PDF]

Journal of Applied Life Sciences and Environment, 2023
Wine soils from the country’s main vineyards contain 0.05-0.25 g total per 100 g soil, 0.9-20 mg /100 g soil and 6.5-36 mg /100 g soil. The amount of fertiliser that the plant will use – the degree of use – depends on the age of the stumps, the type of ...
