Report on Porem bioactivator, After-Life deliverable action E2
Manure-based bioactivator for better soil management through bioremediation
Funded by the European Union. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or CINEA. Neither the European Union or the granting authority can be held responsible for them
The proposed project intends
the efficiency of the application of innovative, low-cost and effective technologies for the restoration of soils with low organic matter content, even in semi-arid areas.
In particular, we aim to demonstrate the applicability of poultry manure, treated according to EP 1314710*, for soil restoration/bioremediation, avoiding degradation, fixing C in the soil, placing P as struvite and increasing biological quality (edaphic fertility), in terms of bulk density and aggregates, N content, total biodiversity and plant yield.

Project objectives
It is estimated that 45% of European soils are potentially subject to degradation: new strategies are needed to improve soil quality.
As a general objective, the proposed project intends to DEMONSTRATE the efficiency of the application of innovative and low-cost technologies for the restoration of lands with low soil organic content, even in semi-arid areas.
