The brochure is intended for the education of agricultural extension services on the topic of preventing negative impact of farming activities on groundwater. Special attention was given to the implementation of European Frame Water Directive (WFD) in the agricultural sector. The goal is to have a specialized farming adviser, specifically trained in groundwater-friendly farming practices, assigned to each vulnerable groundwater body.

COBISS.SI-ID: 9227897The organic fertilizer we made from chicken and pig manure (KP) worked similarly effectively as the mineral NPK fertilizer. Other prototype fertilizers with the addition of vermiculite (KPV) and biochar (KPO) were not as effective, but the yields were still higher than in non-fertilized control or compost fertilization. The addition of biochar to the fertilizer from a mixture of chicken and solid pig manure separator (KPO) reduced the nitrate nitrogen content of the soil by 15 %
