Los acuerdos internacionales y la normativa europea, nacional y regional en el País Vasco como el Decreto 112/2011 que establece el código de buenas prácticas agrarias como pilar del desarrollo rural orientado a un modelo de agricultura sostenible. En el sector hortofrutícola, los fertilizantes, al igual que otros insumos como la energía o el agua, son activos que deben ser gestionados de forma eficiente; optimizando el rendimiento de los cultivos en el marco de las políticas europeas de desarrollo sostenible y respeto al medio ambiente. Por ello, es prioritario proporcionar herramientas al sector hortofrutícola para que pueda adaptarse a las necesidades actuales y a las nuevas normativas, mejorando tanto la rentabilidad como la operatividad a través de estrategias alternativas a la gestión convencional basada en fertilizantes minerales de síntesis química.

Agricultural run-off and subsurface drainage tiles transport a significant amount of nitrogen and phosphorus leached after fertilization. alchemia-nova GmbH in collaboration with University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna developed two multi-layer vertical filter systems to address the agricultural run-off issue, which has been installed on the slope of an agricultural field in Mistelbach, Austria. While another multi-layer addressing subsurface drainage water is implemented in Gleisdorf, Austria. The goal is to develop a drainage filter system to retain water and nutrients. Both multi-layer filter systems contain biochar and other substrates with adsorption properties of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus). The filter system can be of practical use if an excess of nutrients being washed out is of concern in the fields of the practitioner by keeping the surrounding waters clean. This approach may result in economic value by re-using the saturated biochar as fertilizer and improving the soil structure, thus increasing long-term soil fertility.

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).
Because variables such as temperature and humidity have a profound effect on the activity of crop pests, diseases and natural enemies, the ability to monitor environmental conditions within a crop has always been important for crop protection.
