What technology offer farmers an in-situ and real-time method to monitor nutrient content in manure?

1. Slurry concentrator

2. Conductivity meters

3. Drip lines

3 / 14

What are the benefits of using green manures?

1. Increased growth rates, soil organic matter content and beneficial insects

2. Crops mature quicker, more active soil biota and extended growing seasons

3. All of the above

4 / 14

High-biomass manures used in the MOPS trials included which plants?

1. Potatoes and carrots

2. Clover and ryegrasses

3. Phacelia and Buckwheat

5 / 14

How much does the application of Struvite reduce nitrogen emissions by when compared to untreated digestate?

1. 36%

2. 72%

3. 63%

6 / 14

What does the fustigation technique reduce compare to tradition application methods?

1. Emissions and soil compaction

2. Runoff and Leeching

3. All of the above

7 / 14

What process is used to produce Ammonium Salts by the RENURE project?

1. Strip-Scrubbing

2. Washing

3. Separation

8 / 14

Which fraction produced by the slurry Concentrator has a high nutrient content?

1. Both fractions are equal

2. Liquid fraction

3. Semi-Liquid fraction

9 / 14

What did farmers use as part of the Duncannon Blue Flag and Communities Scheme to implement more crop and soil specific application of nutrients?

1. Soil sampling and nutrient management plans

2. Use of technologies like low emission spreading equipment

3. All of the above

10 / 14

Which combination of tools helps farmers apply manure efficiently while reducing environmental impact?

1. Use conductivity meters, GPS monitoring, and hose application

2. Apply equal manure loads to every field

3. Avoid real-time tracking to save costs

11 / 14

A farmer wants to reduce emissions and synthetic fertiliser use while improving nutrient delivery. What approach best meets these goals?

1. Use struvite, fertigation, and recovered ammonium salts

2. Apply untreated digestate broadly

3. Fertilise only during peak rainfall for better distribution

12 / 14

How can a farmer reduce manure transport costs and apply nutrients more efficiently?

1. Store and spread raw manure over large areas

2. Use a mobile slurry concentrator to separate and target application

3. Mix slurry with water and spread uniformly across all fields

13 / 14

What strategy helps to improve soil fertility and crop yield in organic horticulture?

1. Use synthetic nitrogen between cash crops

2. Rotate green manures like clover and phacelia

3. Leave fields fallow to reduce nutrient depletion

14 / 14

What is an effective way for farmers to reduce nutrient pollution and improve water quality?

1. Fence watercourses, use buffer zones, and apply low emission spreading

2. Apply more fertiliser near streams to boost buffer growth

3. Rely on rainfall to dilute farm runoff
