Project information
| Project | The Power of Chicken – Organo-mineral fertilizer development and experimental cultivation |
| Duration | 1.5.2024 – 30.10.2025 |
| Partners | Fertilex Oy (lead partner), Häme University of Applied Sciences, Suomen ekosovellus Oy |
| Funders | South Ostrobothnia ELY Centre, Nutrient Recycling Experimental Programme |
| Budget | 600 000 € (HAMK’s share 30 000€) |
The project aims to accelerate nutrient recycling by developing an organomineral fertilizer that is both practical and cost-effective for conventional farming.
The new product will be primarily composed of processed manure, with additional components to increase its nitrogen content to a level that makes it attractive for conventional farmers.
Extensive field trials will be conducted with the test fertilizer, and the results will be systematically collected and analyzed. The goal is to develop a cost-effective, high-quality organomineral fertilizer that supports the advancement of recycled fertilizers. Both the new product and the project implementation itself are expected to have positive environmental impacts by reducing nutrient runoff.
