SOS_AQUAE: Combining sustainable agrotechniques and renewable fertilizers

Sub-surface drip irrigation with renewable fertilisers enhances maize yields and reduces N₂O emissions in drought-prone regions

or

Detail description

The project results of experimental tests performed in the farm CERZOO, to understand the effects of subsurface drip irrigation and the use of digestate, as a renewable fertilizer, on the production yields and the reduction of greenhouse gas and ammonia emissions. Test were carried out on non-tillage based on spring-summer crops (sorgum and maize) alternating with autumn-winter cover crops, fertigated with ammonium sulphate by digestate stripping, injected through drip lines in sub-irrigation.
