Kaj je bil obravnavan izziv/problem?

Fertilizers used in agriculture in our time are becoming more and more expensive. Bio-based fertilisers are also becoming more expensive and more difficult to access on the market. For this reason, alternatives are being sought locally. One of the alternatives is sapropel, which is relatively easily available in our country.

Kako ste rešili problem?

The project aim is to study and develop of energy effective and economically justified sapropel production (dehydration) technologies in Latvia’s conditions, and to assess application suitability of sapropel, as a biologically active additive and soil fertilization product, in agriculture. To achieve the project aims, the following activities are planned: Development of sapropel dehydration method; The studying of sapropel as a biological fertilizer and soil substrate product; The studying of sapropel as a biologically active feed additive in animal production. The project theme is focusing on the study of the use of a completely new technology in sapropel production (dehydration) in Latvia’s conditions, and the use of the new sapropel product in such an important sector of the national economy as agriculture, in the sector of primary production that will further be offered for the use in industrial production

Kaj je v vašem praktičnem primeru inovativno?

Development of sapropel dehydration method is the innovation in this project. As well there are still ongoing studying of sapropel as a organic active feed additive in animal production.
