The project studies mineralization of nutrients from organic sources in greenhouse production of vegetables.
It is a challenge in organic production to match the mineralization of nutrients with the demand of the crop, especially for fruit-bearing crops like tomato. The project focuses on production in restricted volumes of soil, which is a common type of production in Sweden, however, no new production areas with this system can be established due to a change in EU regulations. There regulations are to be revised within a decade, and the current project will provide important knowledge possibly affecting the outcome of this revision.
