ILVO takes first steps to map spread of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance through manure

ILVO has developed a method that makes it possible to map the distribution of antibiotics via manure into the environment.

Antibiotic residues, antibiotic resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes in manure, soil and plants and the potential exposure of humans

Main research questionWhen livestock manure is used on agricultural land, in addition to the known attention to environmental problems, concern is increasing about antibiotic residues and antibiotic resistance genes that may end up in the environment with the manure.

Antibiotic residues, antibiotic resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes in manure, soil and plants and the potential exposure of humans

Climate adaptive practices to reduce nutrient losses: a survey

In part 1 the efficiency of the existing legal provisions concerning manure production and manure use is investigated. To what extent do they take into account the expected climate change? Part 2 considers the fractionated fertilization of potatoes and maize.

Nitrogen effects of cut green manures in relation to application method and soil condition

ILVO, Inagro, PCG and UGent investigated the effect of a cut green manure (grass clover) on crop yield in recent years.

Turning barn air into organic fertilizer or nutritious animal feed: How feasible is circular processing of nitrogen from livestock buildings?

Can you turn nitrogen emitted from barn air and manure into a raw material suitable for the production of organic fertilizer and/or animal feed?

BASTA: Biochar’s Added value in Sustainable land use with Targeted Applications in processes, growing media & (future proof) open-field cultivation

Main research questionBASTA envisages producing biochar from residual biomass resulting in an economically valuable and sustainable end product for applications in (1) manure and biomass processing; (2) growing media; and (3) open fields.

The Living Lab for Agroecology and Organic Agriculture co-presents the thesis prize 'Organic Agriculture and Agroecology' during Agriflanders

Jasper Van Opstal, a graduate of KULeuven, received a cash prize of 500 euros and congratulations from the jury for his master's thesis "Feasibility of green manures in an organic production method.

Climate-conscious celebrations of All Saints' Day: chrysanthemum grown on compost and leftover green material?

Pot chrysanthemums grown on peat-poor substrate and fertilized in the field with local management residues grow as well or even better than pot chrysanthemums grown on peat-rich substrate and fertilized with farmyard manure.

Innovative concepts and technologies for ECOlogically sustainable NUTRIent management in agricultureaiming to prevent, mitigate and eliminate pollution in soils, water and air

Our tasks include: Task 4.1 Reduction of GHG and NH3 emissions from barns, Task 4.2 Emission reduction in external storage of organic residues, Task 4.3 Emission reduction from fields Task 4.4 Emission reduction by monitoring through feedback.Research approachILVO is conducting experiments at its Pig Campus on the effect of rapid manure removal and
