Making the most of organic materials
Organic materials, including livestock manures, biosolids, compost and digestate contain valuable plant nutrients and can save farmers money on their fertiliser bill. However, how these materials are managed can have a significant impact on their value to the farm. This ADAS event will outline how farmers can maximise the value of their organic materials.
