Use of hemiparasitic plants (Rhinanthus sp
Hemiparasites, living in permanent grasslands, are annual green plants that are capable of photosynthesis but extract water and minerals from their hosts with specialized roots equipped with contact organs called haustoria (Těšitel et al., 2015). Although there are several genera of hemiparasites in European grasslands (e.g., Melampyrum, Rhinanthus, Pedicularis, Odontites), the most used species in botanical studies is yellow rattle (Rhinanthus minor L.). Unfortunately, this species has low competitive ability against vigorous tall grasses and is vulnerable to competitive exclusion in productive grasslands. A related species, Greater yellow rattle [R. alectorolophus (Scop.) Pollich], is a taller and more vigorous plant that once was a common weed of cereals before the introduction of herbicides in the 1960s. It typically occurs in extensively managed grasslands and road verges in central Europe. Rhinanthus alectorolophus plants can grow up to 80 cm high on arable land, but usually reach a height of up to 40 cm in permanent grasslands.

NANOCELLULOSE MEMBRANES FOR NUTRIENT RECOVERY
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No 858735This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No 858735. FACTSHEET NANOCELLULOSE MEMBRANES FOR NUTRIENT RECOVERY Key information Functionalized nanocellulose membranes can take up nitrate and phosphate. These membranes can be put in a water treatment unit. As the membranes are biobased, degradable materials, they can after use be added to the soil, thus returning the leached nutrients back for their original purpose providing fertilizers (nutrient recycling).
