Este proyecto consiste en desarrollar y validar el funcionamiento de una herramienta capaz de obtener una medida más ajustada del nitrógeno, el fósforo y el potasio generado en cada explotación ganadera y por lo tanto, conocer con más exactitud la cantidad de nutrientes aplicada en el suelo por explotación. El desarrollo de esta tecnología, denominada infrarrojo cercano (NIR), ligada al ya existente seguimiento GPS de las cisternas, permitiría tener totalmente monitorizada y cuantificada la distribución de la aplicación de nutrientes procedentes de las deyecciones ganaderas a lo largo del territorio catalán y especialmente la cantidad de nitrógeno, fósforo y potasio que genera cada una de las explotaciones. El proyecto contempla por una parte (i) la implementación y validación del uso de sensores IR junto con caudalímetros ópticos como herramientas de medidas fiables y precisas para conocer la cantidad de nutrientes (N:P:K) generadas a las explotaciones ganaderas y, por otro, (ii) la creación de una aplicación compatible con la actual plataforma de la Generalitat de Catalunya para poder incorporar el seguimiento de los nutrientes generados y aplicados en el suelo en todo el territorio.

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.
