To provide a more sustainable solution in fertilisation, the phosphate in manure should be used instead, thus in feet repairing the broken agricultural phosphorous cycle. In order to guarantee an environmentally sound use of manure for agricultural purposes, its composition should be certified and free of heavy metal pollutants.
To achieve these goals, the research described in this proposal is addressing two objectives:¿
