CCBs report "Improvement of farm productivity by preventing nitrogen and phosphorus leaching from soil to water" released.

Fertilization of agricultural land is a commonly used agronomic practiceto increase yielding. Unfortunately, on conventional farms on averageonly 50% of the nitrogen supplied with fertilizers is utilized by crops,which means that half of the nitrogen compounds are released into theenvironment and enter the waters (surface and underground), causingeconomic loss to the farmer and problems in the aquatic environment.There are also smaller losses of phosphorus compounds, butextremely harmful for the environment. Therefore it is important toproperly balance Improvement of farm productivity by wise nutrientmanagement folder EN fertilizers rates, taking into account relevantapplication times and soil conditions.

The CCB's report on improvement of farm productivity by preventing nitrogen and phosphorus leaching from soil to water is available in English, Latvian, Lithuanian and Polish.

SHORT ABOUT THE PROJECT

Project Industrial animal farms in the Baltic Sea Region - sustainable practices to reduce nutrient loads is a part of a long-term campaign of the Coalition Clean Baltic and Green Federation "GAJA", aiming to reduce the negative impact of large-scale animal production on the environment and local communities in the Baltic Sea Region, particularly by reducing nutrient run-off into the sea. The project is part-financed by the European Union. This website reflects only the view of the Coalition Clean Baltic.
