Strawberry on a bed of shrimp. Upgrading residual flows from agriculture, horticulture, agri-food and fisheries
Making growing substrates for strawberry and tomato in greenhouses more sustainable: that is the goal of the Interreg 2 Seas project Horti-BlueC.
Horti-BlueC webinar 4: New growing media blends for strawberry and tomato
Horti-BlueC webinar 4: New growing media blends for strawberry and tomato
Do these building blocks truly contribute to effective new growing media blends for strawberry and tomato plants, with reduced fertilizer and chemical crop protection product use? These questions are addressed in the four webinars.
Horti-BlueC webinar 5: LCA on biochar in new growing media blends for strawberry and tomato
Horti-BlueC webinar 5: LCA on biochar in new growing media blends for strawberry and tomato
Do these building blocks truly contribute to effective new growing media blends for strawberry and tomato plants, with reduced fertilizer and chemical crop protection product use? These questions are addressed in the webinars.
Sustainable up-cycling of agro-, agrofood and fisheries residues in horticulture and agriculture as bioenergy, biochar and chitin-rich products
The specific goal is to make the substrates for strawberry and tomato in greenhouses more sustainable. We work (further) on residual flows from agro, agri-food and fishery activities, which are processed into compost, plant fibers, biochar and chitin.
What if irrigation water from lettuce, carrots and strawberries contains toxic microcystin?
CYANTIR, a project by ILVO, UGent, Inagro, Sciensano and ULG, studies under controlled conditions the potential accumulation of toxic microcystin in lettuce, carrot and strawberry.
Growing substrates with renewable resources match performance of classic, less sustainable relatives.
No more yield differences in tomato and strawberry when you remove environmentally damaging mineral wool and a large part of the peat in the cultivation substrate and replace it with renewable or less-energy-consuming products such as wood fiber, chitin, biochar and green compost, respectively.
Algae: seaweed and microalgae
Studies are starting to see if microalgae can stimulate strawberry growth and make the plants more resistant to disease.Microalgae could also be used in manure processing to reduce emissions from digestate and other end products.Finally, certain seaweeds and microalgae have potential methane-reducing effects in the rumen of cows.
Horti-BlueC webinar 3: Spent growing media for direct reuse or as a feedstock for biochar and compost
Do these building blocks truly contribute to effective new growing media blends for strawberry and tomato plants, with reduced fertilizer and chemical crop protection product use? These questions will be addressed in the four webinars. The first three will take place this Spring and the fourth webinar is planned for Fall 2021.
Horti-BlueC webinar 1: Large scale gasification for energy and biochar production
Do these building blocks truly contribute to effective new growing media blends for strawberry and tomato plants, with reduced fertilizer and chemical crop protection product use? These questions will be addressed in the four webinars. The first three will take place this Spring and the fourth webinar is planned for Fall 2021.
