Duurzaam Bodemleven "Op goede gronden" : Composteren in de bloembollenteelt

Reports & Research
Diciembre, 2004

Ieder bedrijf produceert afval. Bij bloembollenbedrijven is een groot deel van het afval plantaardig, zoals pelafval, maaisel, stro. Dit afval kan afgevoerd worden. Dat heeft een uitstroom van nutriënten en organische stof van het bedrijf tot gevolg en brengt aanzienlijke kosten met zich mee. Het materiaal kan ook op het eigen bedrijf gecomposteerd worden. Hierdoor worden kosten van afvoer van het materiaal bespaard en kan het materiaal, na compostering, bijdragen aan de organische bemesting van de grond.
