Project goals
To demonstrate and implement soil pH optimization technologies in legume cultivation, with the aim of increasing biological nitrogen fixation, reducing the need for fertilization, lowering N₂O emissions, and improving soil health and the sustainability of organic farms.
Target group
Persons engaged in agriculture, food production, and forestry.
Detailed summary
The project aims to demonstrate soil pH optimization technologies in legume cultivation, with the goal of increasing biological nitrogen fixation, reducing the need for fertilization and N₂O emissions, and improving soil health. The innovation is based on systematic pH management and the combination of liming and other measures to stabilize nitrogen cycling processes and promote the activity of symbiotic bacteria. During the demonstration trial, plant productivity, nitrogen fixation efficiency, reduced fertilization requirements, and changes in emissions will be evaluated. The technology will contribute to more sustainable, environmentally friendly organic farming.
