Great success! Just before the rains we managed to sample and harvest our recycling fertilizer experiments focusing on granular fertilisers based on oil-shale ash and lime enriched with essential soil nutrients
in Ahja and Aovere fields in
Southern Estonia. The growing season was rather dry also in Estonia, but preliminary results are promising, both 2,5 t/ha and 5 t/ha application rates of fertilizer seemed to increase the yields. Next we will analyze the samples and finalize project reporting.
Dream Team of AgriChar group together with Estonian University of Life Sciences people managed well to sample and harvest the plots!
In this project we work in synergy with Estonian NGO Soil Innovation Cluster and Estonian University of Life Sciences, University of Tartu and Ekosovellus and the aim of our work package is to test most suitable fertilizer recipes. Stay tuned for the results and check also other interesting results from the Cluster website https://soilprotection.earth!
Further, also our sediment recycling long-term field experiment and biochar drainage experiment were also sampled for plant and soil samples, as well as for leachate samples. And, of course, also the GHG emissions from the biochar and control treatments. This project is funded by Tiina and Antti Herlin Foundation, August Johannes and Aino Tiura Foundation as well as Emil Aaltonen Foundation. Thanks Mina, Subin and Jure for the excellent job!
