Use of bio-waste as fertiliser for the protected vegetable cultivation

Abstract: The number of biogas plants in Germany is increasing from 3,711 in 2007 to 8,075 in 2016. In these biogas plants, it occurred more than 50 Mt digestate. Therefore, several investigations are started to use digestate as organic fertiliser mostly for field crop cultivation. Experiment with tomatoes was carried out were digestate was used as a supplement to the growing media in an amount of 5%, 15%, and 25%, compared with a treatment of mineral fertiliser and lupine wholemeal. The tomato yield was highest in the … Show more

“…Further, nitrogen mineralisation in plant tissue was also evident, e.g., nitrogen in thorn apple and mint tissue increased from 19.5 to 44.3 g/kg and 13.2 to 30.3 g/kg, respectively, when using wool waste, and soil microbial biomass also increased [26]. Wool has also been reported as an organic fertiliser for tomato and broccoli in the form of pellets [9,27]. However, using wool in powder form is more advantageous than using its raw form (fibre) or pellets.…”
