Foliar application Biodigestor fluids • Highly bioavailable form of nutrients readily absorved by the crop (forage) • Minimize environmental pollution How much do we apply? • Based on crop requirements upon soil testing
Overall objective • Sustainable production of milk, meat, vegetables and energy considering: • Social • Economic and • Environmental aspects • Minimize use of external inputs by maximizing in-farm efficiency
