Organic production in Europe is currently dependent on the input of fertilisers derived from conventional agriculture, such as farmyard manure, slurry and fertilisers derived from slaugther residues. A significant part of the nutrient flows in our food systems goes in one direction, from land to sea, via sewage and leaching. Harvesting marine organisms for fertilisation,...

The use of cntentious inputs in organic growing was mapped across Europe in the H2020 Project "Organic-PLUS" (GA 774340) during 2018. This paper presents results on peat, plastic and animal-derived fertilisers in horticultural growing. Broadly, the use of peat and plastic is similar to non-organic production. Many organic growers use transplants, and the growing media...

Organic farming systems with restricted access to animal manure often experience decline in soil P concentrations. Nutrients should be cycled in society to maintain the long-term fertility of agricultural soil. One option for this may be precipitation of struvite (magnesium-ammonium phosphate) from sewage treatment plants, to be Applied as fertiliser. Struvite produced in a Norwegian...

2019-09-16
The soil P concentration commonly declines over time by organic management, if the farm does not acquire enough fertilisers or other inputs containing P from outside. An interesting source to supply farms with P is struvite (magnesium‐ammonium phosphate). This mineral easily precipitates when the concentrations of these nutrients is high enough, such as in a...

In organic growing, both in Norway and elsewhere in Europe, significant amounts of fertiliser products not derived from certified organic farming are used, such as dried poultry manure or other types of fertilisers derived from conventional farms such as animal by-products. Organic agriculture aims to be independent of conventional agriculture, and fertilisers derived from harvesting...

Vi må tenke kretsløp i alt vi gjør. Global oppvarming skyldes ubalanse i karbonets og nitrogenets kretsløp. Utnyttelsesgraden av karbon og nitrogen i produksjonen er helt avgjørende for klimabelastningen. Dette gjelder ikke bare landbruket, men i alt vi foretar oss. Det nasjonale klimaregnskapet bygger på mangelfull statistikk, og det trengs nye og bedre beregningsmetoder. Effekten av uli...

Prosjektet “Forsøk med fermentering av husdyrgjødsel» (2016-2018) prøver ut tilsetning av effektive mikroorganismer (EM) i dyrerom og gjødsellagre på noen gårder i Norge. Et kontrollert forsøk ble gjennomført på Tingvoll vinteren 2017-18. Uttrykket «effektive mikroorganismer» ble først brukt i Japan, der forskere isolerte og dyrket opp stammer av ulike jordboende sopp og bakterier, og prøvde dem ut i ulike k...
