Recently, there has been a lot of public discussion about the necessity of nutrient recycling in agriculture, and a lot of research has also been done on the subject. According to research, the environmentally beneficial effects of animal manure and agricultural biomass processing can actually be summed up in three themes:
Fertilex universal fertilizer is an organic certified, sanitized organic fertilizer that has been ecologically dried with heat energy produced by the chickens themselves. No one else makes fertilizer like this!
Why Fertilex?
- Reduction and control of nutrient runoff and eutrophication of water bodies
- Reduction of agricultural carbon dioxide emissions, up to 0.28 CO₂ equivalents per ton of Fertilex used
- Adding humus to the arable soil and improving its vitality over a longer period of time
Circulation of nutrients
Currently, nutrients in agriculture do not circulate at a nearly sufficient level: manure is not processed into more effective fertilizer products at all, the fertilizer effect/response is weaker than it should be, and the degree of processing of the end products is generally very low. There is now a solution to exactly these aforementioned challenges, and it can be found with us – Fertilex.
First-class certified organic fertilizer
Fertilex develops methods for the most efficient utilization of agricultural side streams and sells organic certified recycled fertilizers to both professional farmers and the retail trade. In 2019, Fertilex invested in Mynämäki’s first fertilizer production plant, which is capable of producing first-class organic certified fertilizer using the manure produced in the chicken coop as raw material. The waste heat energy produced by the chickens is utilized in the drying of the manure. In other words, the wet manure of the chickens is dried with the heat produced by the chickens themselves – immediately in contact with the chicken coop. Nutrient-rich, odorless, and sanitized fertilizer is made from dry manure for both farmers and home gardens.
