Context

The members of this task force are working jointly to develop a local substrate. This will enable the application of the circular economy concept in nurseries. It will make it possible to better control the raw materials that make up the substrates. Synergies with other companies located close to the nursery are also to be generated.

Objectives

1. Produce substrates based on forestry waste and supplemented with by-products richer in N and/or other fibrous materials.
2. Assess the properties of the composts obtained  and determine the mixtures with other materials necessary to achieve the characteristics suitable for their use.
3. Study the behaviour of the mixtures obtained in a tree crop with regard to fertilisation and irrigation.
4. Assess, from the environmental value of the process to obtain and use the substrates.
5 . Determine the technical and economic viability of obtaining and using 0-Km substrates.
6 . Provide the nursery staff with the knowledge they need to adopt techniques for tthe production of the new substrates.

Objectives

1. Producir,un sustrato compuesto por restos forestales y complementado con subproductos más ricos en N y otros
materiales de tipo fibroso.
2. Evaluar las propiedades de los compuestos obtenidos como sustrato y determinar la mezcla con otros materiales necesaria para su uso.
3. Estudiar el comportamiento de las mezclas obtenidas  en referencia a la fertilización y al riego.
4. Evaluar, el impacto ambiental, del proceso de obtención y uso del sustrato.
5. Determinar la viabilidad técnica y económica del sustrato de Km 0.
6. Publicar los resultados  y dotar al personal del vivero de información para la adopción de
técnicas de monitorización del sistema productivo relacionado con el nuevo sustrato.

Activities

1 . Production of compost with indigenous (zero-kilometre) materials.
2 . Characterisation of the compost and formulation/characterisation of the substrates.
3 . Agronomic assessment in the tree crop.
4. Assessment of the environmental impact of the production model.
5. Technical and economic viability.
6. Dissemination.

Activities

1. Producción del compuesto con materiales autóctonos, de km 0.
2. Caracterización del compuesto y formulación/caracterización de sustratos.
3. Evaluación agronómica en cultivo de árboles.
4. Evaluación del impacto ambiental del modelo de producción.
5. Viabilidad técnica y económica.
6. Divulgación.
