BRESOV survey on the use of alternative fertilizers and microorganisms

Summary

Farmers feedback on the use of alternative fertilisers and microorganisms
BRESOV, a Horizon 2020 project, recently carried out a survey on alternative fertilisers and microorganisms. 93% of respondents recommend the use of alternative fertilisers and 59% the use of microorganisms. The survey found that amongst the respondents, alternative fertilisers are mainly used for residue reduction and on open field vegetables. Microorganisms are used for insect control, soil improvement and root stimulation, mostly on Solanaceae and orchard crops.
