An examination of maximum legal application rates of dairy processing and associated STRUBIAS fertilising products in agriculture
(Elsevier, 2021-10-09)
The dairy industry produces vast quantities of dairy processing sludge (DPS), which can be processed further to develop second generation products such as struvite, biochars and ashes (collectively known as STRUBIAS). These ...
Mineral fertiliser equivalent value of dairy processing sludge and derived biochar using ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and spring wheat (Triticum aestivum)
(Elsevier, 2022-08-20)
As supply chains of chemical fertilisers become more precarious, raw or derived bio-based fertilisers (herein referred to as bio-fertilisers) from the dairy processing industry could be good alternatives. However, their ...
Dairy processing sludge and co-products: a review of present and future re-use pathways in agriculture
(Elsevier, 2021-06-22)
The dairy industry is one of the largest global producers of wastewater and generates huge volumes of dairy processing sludge (DPS). There are two main types of DPS, lime-treated dissolved air floatation sludge and ...
Phosphorus and nitrogen leaching from an organic and a mineral soil receiving single and split dairy slurry applications: A laboratory column experiment
(Springer, 2022-11-12)
Purpose
Intensification of farming means that organic soils, of low phosphorus (P) holding capacity, are being brought into production. Consequently, farmers may have to adjust their fertiliser application regimes to ...
Phosphorus fertiliser equivalent value of dairy processing sludge-derived STRUBIAS products using ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and spring wheat (Triticum aestivum)
(Wiley, 2023-12-11)
Struvite, biochar and ash products (collectively known as STRUBIAS) products derived from different waste streams are used as fertilisers in agriculture. Raw dairy processing sludge (DPS) shows promise as bio-based ...
An integrated connectivity risk ranking for phosphorus and nitrogen along agricultural open ditches to inform targeted and specific mitigation management
(Frontiers Media, 2024-02-19)
On dairy farms with poorly drained soils and high rainfall, open ditches receive nutrients from different sources along different pathways which are delivered to surface water. Recently, open ditches were ranked in terms ...
