Unizeo project

Objectives

• Functioning pilot plant with a production capacity of 1000 ton of granules per year
• Granules of urea-based fertilizer coated with Zeolitite tested in agricultural lots and one golf course in total 2500 Ha
• Reduction of needed urea in the tested farmland with 30-40%
• Drastic reduction of nitrates in groundwater and aquifers and nitrogen (ammonia) in air
• 45%-50% of reduction of loss of nitrogen in atmosphere and leaching
• Crop yield in the test lots increate with respect to the one produced with the normal chemical fertilizers
• Increased knowledge and awareness amongst target group of growers on water and air pollution by nitrates and the advantage of the new product
