.NUTRI-KNOW Train the Trainer course learnings of European Commission 🇪🇺 @Agriculture_ie EIP OGs on nutrient circularity delivered to @Teagasc Agricultural School Educational staff from 6 locations around Ireland by Aoife Egan #bioeconomy Biorefinery Glas @MOPSorganic Duncannon Blue Flag EIP
Opportunity to join the team NUTRI-KNOW @Teagasc Johnstown Castle, Co. Wexford. Sharing the nutrient management knowledge of EIP Operational Groups Position closing at 12 noon on the 25th of June 2024 Details and apply here: topjobs-teagasc.thehirelab.com/LiveJobs/JobAp…
What's possible in the #bioeconomy? Great eg Green Generation producing biomethane gas to feed grid, produce electricity & heat, to run tractors & NPKS bio-based fertiliser, recycled plastic products all from recycled food waste & pkging & pig slurry. MainstreamBIO Project BBioNets
Sulphur (S) boosts grass production & Nitrogen use efficiency reducing Nitrate leaching to water particularly in free draining soil. 2-4 rounds of S product/yr adequate in most intensive grazing settings Farming for Water EIP @Teagasc Walsh Scholarship Research onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
All set to go and the sun is shining @Teagasc Johnstown Castle open day. Come join us for a great day of solutions for the #agriculture sector. Many thanks to all our funders including Dept of Agriculture, Food and the Marine & Horizon Europe🇪🇺
Thanks to Matt O'Keeffe out with Francis nolan🐄 doing a radio interview for KCLR 96FM on what farmers like Francis are doing in regards to water quality - improving soil fertility, using PU, fencing watercourses, adhering to slurry/fert buffer areas, ASSAP etc all covered
Manipulation of sward diversity is a more effective management strategy than addition of microbial inoculants in intensively managed grassland rdcu.be/dOSBG. New paper led by Israel Ikoyi as part of the MASTER IA H2020 project. Key findings 1. Generally, there was no
SoilEnvMicro Israel Ikoyi MASTER IA H2020 Delighted to be part of this study! My more general take-home from this study is that when we are being sold a product, demand evidence from independent research to show the effectiveness of the product *under field conditions*.
