What Effect Does The Organic Fertilizer Production Equipment To Agricultural Development
Before the season when crops needed fertilization, the traditional fertilizer contained a lot of chemical elements and its smell was very pungent. It has been more affected to people and crops for a long time, and the long-term use of traditional fertilizers led to the soil nutrients are severely damaged. For these reasons, our company Fusmar has developed organic fertilizer production equipment, ...

New EU rules on fertilisers
The EU has published new rules for placing fertilising and other products on the EU market. One of the European Commission's objectives is to encourage large scale fertiliser production from domestic organic or secondary raw materials in line with the circular economy model, by transforming waste into nutrients for crops. Driven by this, in March 2016 the European Commission presented its ...

Are we running out of phosphate?
The scientific community has issued a stark warning that we may exhaust supplies of phosphate, a fertiliser that is crucial to ensuring global food security, in the next few decades. Along with nitrogen, phosphate comprises an integral component of the fertiliser that farmers use to spray crops and maximise agricultural yields all over the world. But while our atmosphere is composed of nearly ...

Increased amphibian mortality due to agri-chemical pollution
Global decline in frog populations is thought to indicate environmental damage caused by human activity. In particular, the use of agri-chemicals has been linked to an increase in infectious diseases in amphibians. A link has now been found between a parasitic infection and localised interaction between phosphate fertilisers and herbicides. Leopard frogs from wetlands in Minnesota, USA, were ...

Utilisation of nitrogen and phosphate on dairy farms could be increased
Nitrogen and phosphate are important fertilisers. But excessive amounts often found in fields and pastures end up polluting the ground and surface water. Furthermore, dairy farmers are squandering their profits by wasting these expensive fertilisers. The Koeien & Kansen [Cattle and Opportunities] project set up by two PhD candidates from Wageningen University, part of Wageningen UR, shows how ...

Waste could fertilise food cost cuts
Researchers in the UK think they may have found a way to produce fertilisers that should cut farmers’ costs and at the same time boost some types of renewable energy. Their scheme, which involves using waste material from anaerobic digesters and ash from burnt biomass, would also cut fossil fuel use and save natural resources. The team, based at the Environment Centre at the University of ...
