Abstract
Key points:
Organic fertilisers can improve soil condition and carbon storage, but their effects vary with the type of organic matter, soil type, crop and application method.
Modelling showed that combining organic and inorganic fertilisers maintains yields while improving soil health and reducing (or compensating for) the overall fertiliser costs through the value of the added carbon.
The project developed a framework and Microsoft Excel-based tool to assess costs, returns, and carbon benefits of using organic fertilisers, helping users identify profitable and sustainable fertiliser strategies.
