Mechanical loosening of compacted soil layers in grassland fields

Mechanical loosening involves the use of an aerator (i.e. spiker/slitter) to disrupt a surface compacted layer (0- 10 cm depth) or a disc, tine and packer-roller combination (e.g. a ‘sward lifter’) to lift and shatter a sub-surface compacted layer in the topsoil or upper subsoil (between approximately 10 and 30 cm depth). These operations should be carried out when the compacted layer to be disrupted is in a ‘friable’ condition and, in the case of ‘sward lifting’, when the soil surface is moist so as not to damage the grass sward.

NANOCELLULOSE MEMBRANES FOR NUTRIENT RECOVERY

Document

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).
