Management of livestock droppings to reduce emissions and excess phosphorus in the soil

About the activity

Due to its high content of organic matter and nitrogen (organic and ammoniacal), slurry presents an environmental problem in terms of atmospheric pollution. Compounds such as ammonia, methane, carbon dioxide or nitrous oxide, are gases that are emitted into the atmosphere during storage in ponds and their agricultural application, presenting a problem due to their potential in the 'global warming and acid rain.

On the other hand, more and more plots are being detected with very high contents of phosphorus (P) that can be assimilated into the soil. Current regulations for the management of fertilization and livestock excrement establish that in plots where very high levels of phosphorus are detected in the soil, it is necessary to adjust the fertilization and tend to reduce the levels.

This day is organized within the framework of the IMECO Operational Group - Implementation of BAT for the control of emissions in the management and treatment of slurry - and the FERTICOOP Operational Group - Innovations to adapt to the best available techniques (BAT's) in the Catalan cooperative. agricultural sector -.
On the other hand, two demonstration activities will be presented ACIDEMO - Pilot plant for the acidification of slurry in ponds to mitigate emissions of ammonia and greenhouse gases - and the P-K OPTIM - Efficient and sustainable methods for reduce the phosphorus and potassium content of the soil in excess. situations -.

Projects financed through Operation 16.01.01 (Cooperation for innovation) of the PDR of Catalonia 2014-2022.
