Nutrigels consist of a 100% lignin based water super-absorber, developed by SUSFERT partner Agrobiogel, and different mineral and organic fertiliser compounds, offering famers new products that help them overcome:
1. extreme weather conditions due to climate change -> heavy rains increase the nutrient leaching reduce availability of nutrients to plants while polluting the enviroment. The newly developed nutrigels trap nutrients and slowly release them to plants.
- 2.comply with legally forced reduction of mineral fertilisers (min. 20% reduction) until 2023 (farm to fork strategy)
This KER combines nutrigels with integrated NPK.
Ownership lies with Agrobiogel and Groupe Roulier/TIMAC.
