Production of plants in consideration of scarity of resources (Dränfit)
Project
Project code: EIP-Agri-MP-2015-LPLGMPG01
Contract period: 01.01.2015
- 31.12.2017
Budget: 650,400 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: farming practice/activity, farming equipment, plant production and horticulture, fertilisation, soil, water, waste/pollution
The aim of the OG is the production of high quality fruits with a simultaneous reduction of fertilizer use and the environmental impact on soil and water resources. The applicability and effectiveness of strategies to reduce nutrient inputs on drained areas is to be tested. These will at first be investigated by water-side measures and secondly by testing the nutrient concentration and the material displacement on drained soil. A combination of a reactive dig and controlled drainage is used to test the reduction effect on nitrogen and phosphorus. A reactive drainage ditch is a dewatering unit in which the nitrate removal by denitrification processes is stimulated by the supply of organic material. Controlled drainage is an innovative method for water and nitrogen retention in agriculture. A control unit of the drain regulates the flows and cuts peaks.
