Project name: Effect of biologically transformed organic matter and biochar application on the stability of productive soil properties and reduction of environmental risks
Project Number: TH02030169
Programme: TACR EPSILON
Project leader at CZU: Asc. Prof., Ing. Petr Šařec, Ph.D.
Solution period: 2017-2020
This project is a continuation of the TACR project TA04021390. The aim is to experimentally verify, quantitatively define and recommend for agricultural practice the optimal doses and method of application of biologically transformed organic matter - BTOH (manure fertilizers) and biochar, to increase the stability of productive soils and biodiversity while reducing environmental risks. Another objective is to continue to verify the effectiveness of BTOH activators of manure on the quality of the stable environment, improving the economics of manure production. Practical outputs of the project obtained by evaluating 4-7 years of small-plot and semi-plot field experimental data will define the potential of applied BTOH and biochar, to improve physical, chemical and biological properties of soil.
