Project description
The agronomic potential and environmental impacts of various recycling-derived fertilisers obtained from biomass streams have not fully comprehended. This PhD aims to study recovered nitrogen fertilisers as an alternative to their synthetic counterparts by assessing their performance under controlled and uncontrolled conditions in extensive product characterisation and plant growth experiments.
