1. Strategic nitrogen management in stockless organic cropping systems : redistribution of residual biomass for improved energy and nitrogen balance
Sammanfattning : Agriculture faces the challenge of producing high yields to feed a growing world population, while simultaneously addressing environmental problems such as eutrophication, emissions of greenhouse gases, loss of biodiversity and soil degradation. Organic farming can be part of the solution, as it promotes biodiversity, uses less energy for fertiliser production and often has higher inputs of organic matter to soil than conventional farming.

3. Traditional lowland rice agriculture in Sri Lanka : Nitrogen cycling and options for biofertilizers
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis has been: to study the dynamics of soil organic-matter, with regard to nitrogen in a traditional lowland-rice agricultural system; to consider options for and nitrogen cycling of biofertilizers, especially the green-manure legume Sesbania sesban; to discuss fertilizer sources and management constraints as parts of a sustainable agricultural development; and to discnss the methodological problems of controlled experiments vs. investigations in farmer's fields.

4. Adsorption and reclamation of wastewater nitrogen and the value of human urine as a nitrogen fertiliser
Sammanfattning : Ammonium adsorption and ammonium ion exchange technique are possible alternatives for ammonium reclamation at conventional wastewater treatment plants. There are a few ion exchange applications that have been suggested for nitrogen reclamation, which can be further developed. LÄS MER
5. Plant-based biogas production for improved nutrient management of beetroot in stockless organic farming
Sammanfattning : Transition from a nutrient management system based on green manure (GrM system) to one based on biodigested plant material produced within the crop rotation (BG system) was investigated in crop sequences including clover-grass, beetroot and cereals. The overall hypothesis was that transition would improve nitrogen (N) availability. LÄS MER
