Innovative solutions to sustainable Soil Phosphorus management, Sub-project D (InnoSoilPhos)

Project


Project code: 031A558D
Contract period: 01.03.2015 - 28.02.2018
Budget: 254,503 Euro
Purpose of research: Basic research

InnoSoilPhos develops solutions for optimizing the soil phosphorus (P) fertility as a basis of future bio-economy at much lower levels of phosphate rock mining (worst case = zero) and higher prices for mineral P fertilizer at the global scale. Therefore, the knowledge basis for the sufficient and efficient use of soil P in agriculture shall be improved by (1) maintaining and enhancing the soil P fertility, and (2) developing, testing and applying new technologies and products that close the P cycle and, thereby, save the global P resources. Furthermore, the corresponding socio-economic and political/legal frame of an optimized agricultural P use is developed to translate science findings into societal practice.
