Optimising the value of manure and organic fertilisers at field plot level (LaPaMa)

DESCRIPTION OF ACTION

The project produces tools and practices for better fertilisation, which will improve the utilisation of nutrients and reduce emissions. A key tool is a fertiliser calculator that seeks to maximise the benefit of fertilisation to the farmer (the value of nutrients – the cost of fertilisation). In addition, the project produces self-study material for farmers and advisors.
