N2 Agri aims to reduce the loss of nitrogen and thereby increase the farmers profit in an R&D project financed by N2 and the Regional Research Foundation West (RFFVEST).<\/p>\n

The Region of J\u00e6ren in Norway has a surplus of manure with a concentrated production of about 1 mill tons of manure within a radius of 20 km (outer circle) as shown in Figure 1.<\/p>\n
Manure has a low fertilizer value because of a substantial loss of nitrogen during storage and application. Hence, it has been the object to determine nitrogen activity and conversion during the enrichment process using plasma technology, and the effects of enriched fertilizer on crop and its quality for a variety of plants. The R&D project started in May 2017 and ends in February 2018 (phase 1).<\/p>\n
Dr Tomas Persson at NIBIO S\u00e6rheim has performed the pot-trials on a variety of combinations of soil and fertilizers. The trials are successful, and its results will be presented in the final report to RFFVEST at the end\u00a0of March 2018. Figure 2 shows the early stage pot-trials presented by Dr. Tomas Persson.<\/p>\n
