D4.6. Final – Report on agronomic and environmental performance in field trial experiences Sigurnjak, Ivona; Shrivastava, Vaibhav; Edayilam, Nimisha; Castaño Sanchez, Omar; Diaz Guerra, Laura; Ortiz, Carlos; Salaet, Ignasi; De la Varga, Herminia; Arrufat, Begoña; Rodríguez-Sánchez, José Antonio; Moreira, Mariana; Munier, Clément; Blanchant, Pierre-Baptiste; Adriani, Anna; Thevenin, Nicolas; Ruidavets, Lionel; Rietra, René; Meers, Erik Deliverable 4.6 ‘Final - Report on agronomic and environmental performance in field trial experiences’’ is a part of FERTIMANURE work package (WP) 4. The WP4 aims to assess bio-based fertilisers (BBFs; produced in WP2) and tailor-made fertilisers (TMFs; produced in WP3) for their ability to substitute conventional synthetic mineral fertilisers whose production is based on finite fossil-based resources and on high energy consumption. The D4.6 reports on results and final conclusion under the following two tasks of WP4: Task 4.2. Field validation of agronomic performance in quadruplicate-randomised block design Sub-task 4.2.1. Spain Sub-task 4.2.2. France Sub-task 4.2.3. Belgium Sub-task 4.2.4. The Netherlands Task 4.3. Field assessment of environmental performance: nutrient losses Deliverable 4.6 aims to summarise the final outcome for each task and sub-task, thus it is divided into 7 chapters. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the deliverable. In Chapter 2 the final results of testing three tailor-made fertilisers (TMFs) in Spanish field trials for winter wheat and potatoes, as well as pot cultivation of spinach and lettuce, are presented. The TMFs were developed through collaboration between UVIC-UCC and Fertinagro, with the former using a Spanish/Dutch pilot and the latter employing patented technology for pig slurry. Chapter 3 explores experiments conducted using ammonium sulphate BBF by French partners (CRAB, CRAGE, and CA80 under APCA), WENR and UGent. This BBF was tested in 19 field trials and 4 pot trials. This chapter also investigates the N performance of ammonium nitrate and ammonium water from the Belgian pilot, with a pot experiment testing ammonium water (BE-AW) on lettuce and a field trial testing ammonium nitrate (BE-AN) on potatoes and maize. Chapter 4 focuses on testing of biochar-based BBFs from the French partners in three field trials and one pot trial involving crops such as potatoes, sugar beet, ryegrass, and sauerkraut. Chapter 5 features the evaluation of liquid potassium-based BBFs by the French partner CRAGE in a field trial with sugar beet as the target crop. In Chapter 6, the deliverable reports on the environmental monitoring campaigns (Task 4.3) that investigated ammonia and gaseous emissions resulting from the on-field and pot application of the various BBFs. Finally, Chapter 7 engages in an overall discussion and offers recommendations regarding the performance of all the tested BBFs from the FERTIMANURE pilots.

D4.5. Final - Report on agronomic performance of the obtained BBFs and TMFs in laboratory setting Sigurnjak, Ivona; Shrivastava, Vaibhav; Edayilam, Nimisha; Ruidavets, Lionel; Ehrhardt, Fiona; Schönfeld, Sophie; Singla Just, Berta; Castaño Sanchez, Omar; Diaz Guerra, Laura; Adani, Fabrizio; Clagnan, Elisa; Dell’Orto, Marta; Meers, Erik This study was carried out and published as a part of the European demonstration project FERTIMANURE funded by the H2020 programme (project number 862849). The FERTIMANURE project focuses on the implementation of nutrient recovery and reuse technologies at 5 pilot installations with aim to produce bio-based fertilisers (BBFs) from animal manure and tailor-made fertilisers (TMFs) as blends of BBFs and (synthetic) mineral fertilisers for crop specific applications. One of the tasks within the FERTIMANURE project is to assess BBFs and TMFs produced in the context of FERTIMANURE for their ability to substitute current mineral fertilisers that are produced based on finite fossil-based resources and on high energy consumption. The mentioned assessments take part on laboratory scale and in a full field scale. Deliverable D4.5 ‘Final - Report on agronomic performance of the obtained BBFs and TMFs in laboratory setting’ gives insight into final results of the BBF and TMF testing in laboratory settings, whereas the full field scale results are reported in D4.6 ‘Final - Report on agronomic and environmental performance in field trial experiences’. The D4.5 more specifically reports on nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) dynamics of tested BBFs via incubation tests, phosphorus (P) plant availability of BBFs by plant growth assay, the effect of biologically activated BBFs, and lastly effect of the produced biostimulant. We would like to acknowledge the researchers and staff of RITTMO Agroenvironnement (France), Fraunhofer-Institut für Umwelt, Sicherheits und Energietechnik (Germany), Ghent University (Belgium), BETA – University of Vic (Spain) and University of Milano (Italy) for their work and contribution.

D4.3. 8 Demo-days organized: 4 countries, twice per region Moreira, Mariana; Darret, Agathe; Sigurnjak, Ivona; Edayilam, Nimisha; Díaz-Guerra, Laura; Blanchant, Pierre-Baptiste; Rietra, René Deliverable 4.3 ‘8 Demo-days organized: 4 countries, twice per region’ is a part of FERTIMANURE work package (WP) 4. The WP4 aims to assess bio-based fertilisers (BBFs; produced in WP2) and tailor-made fertilisers (TMFs; produced in WP3) for their ability to substitute conventional synthetic mineral fertilisers whose production is based on finite fossil-based resources and on high energy consumption. The D4.3 reports on results of the field trial visits that took place under the Task 4.4. Demonstration: Agricultural workshops linked to field demonstration visits. This deliverable aims to summarise the 8 events organised by different partners during 2021 and 2023. The deliverable is divided into 6 chapters. The introduction is given in Chapter 1. Chapters 2, 3, 4 and 5 report on the description of the 8 events for each of the partner countries. Chapter 6 presents the overall results and main discussions and recommendations on the use of the tested BBFs.
