Project name: Liquid organic fertilizer application systems as a method to improve the soil environment, increase plant nutrient availability and minimize environmental impacts
Programme: TACR EPSILON
Project leader at CZU: Asc. Prof., Ing. Petr Šařec,Ph.D.
Solution period: 2019-2023
The main contribution of the project is the development and optimization of systems for the application of liquid organic fertilizers to soil. Their application is a very topical problem today. In our opinion, soil application is the only possible solution. The need for application from spring to autumn is, according to the earth. companies have been proven. Efficient nutrient utilisation by plants of fertilisers applied in this way is essential for sustainable agriculture. The method will also reduce negative impacts on the soil and the environment as a whole. Methodologies for application to different crops will be developed. The application unit developed will enable efficient application of organic fertilizers simultaneously to 2 depths and simultaneous application of mineral fertilizer, thereby increasing nutrient utilization by plants as well as minimizing the number of travels. The potential users of the outputs are mainly farmers who will gain innovative application possibilities.
