The MARIGREEN project aim to upgrade poorly utilized residual materials from marine industries to produce fertilizers and biostimulants for organic agriculture.

New project with project participants from 23 organizations in 17 countries in Europe.

This pre- project will identify potential and research areas for bark as an antiparasitic for ruminants.

The project aim assess the risk of infectious diseases in outdoor poultry and pig production and identify research areas to promote security in outdoor management systems.

This project aims to establish welfare indicators and describe recommendable systems for outdoor pigs.

- an assessment of open storage for cattle manure and bio-residue and storage with roof.

The project aims at increasing the production of organically grown vegetables in Norway by studying how a mulch layer of chopped plant material (“plantehakk” in Norwegian) may reduce weeds and improve nutrient supply.

The project owner is Tingvoll Økopark, Center for sustainable development. NORSØK will first and foremost contribute in subject areas where the climate challenges are related to energy, agriculture and waste management.

The project aims to raise awareness and increase knowledge about soil, and to enable agricultural advisers to provide a broader range of soil-related topics in their services.

Agriculture is under pressure to reduce its emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG). In this project we are studying different ways of reducing GHG emissions from cattle slurry stores.

A lot of wool in Norway, especially from pigmented sheep, is downgraded. Often, this wool is discarded or burned. Wool contains nutrients and can therefore be used as a fertilizer.

The aim of this Project was to investigate the effect of condensed tannins from bark from Norwegian spruce or pine against diarrhea in lambs, caused by Eimeria spp ( a one-celled parasite – coccidiae- living in the animals intestine)

CAPTURE will assess the suitability of different cover crops for C sequestration and the risk for enhanced nitrous oxide emissions under Norwegian conditions.

The Norwegian Wool Standard divides wool into 16 quality grades. Producers fetch the best prices for first-class wool. In this project, we will discuss possibilities for increasing the share of first-class wool, and test the use of lower-grade wool in horticulture.

A compost barn is a multifunctional building for both animals, plants and human beings too. This project covers rearing of cows and cultivation of tomato, squash and pumpkins.

The goal of the project is to create synergies between the business community in Møre and Romsdal and regional maritime and agricultural research facilities, by bringing business and research closer together.

The project promotes knowledge about cultivtion and mangement of Hazel and Filbert and about vegetables cultivated under cold conditions.

Potato is the world’s number one non-grain food commodity.

Since 2011, grass-clover yields and soil characteristics have been studied at Tingvoll farm, with application of digested and non-digested slurry from organic dairy cows. Results are available below.

The aim of this project is to contribute to the development of soil products that can replace peat as transplant and planting media.
