Good practice guide for compost and digestate use (including renewable fertiliser matrix)
Later this summer WRAP plans to launch a Good Practice Guide for compost and digestate use in agriculture.
This guide is intended to provide farmers and growers with practical advice on how best to use these products as âÂÂrenewable fertilisersâÂÂ, whilst maintaining crop quality and minimising risks to the environment. It also includes a simple âÂÂRenewable Fertiliser Matrixâ with suggested harvest intervals for particular crops.
The guide has been collated for WRAP by ADAS, who have drawn on significant programmes of desk-based and field research. The document is currently an advanced draft in a simple format, but it will be subjected to full design work-up once the text is finalised.
WRAP has approached the following organisations to seek their feedback on the draft guideâÂÂs language and content, as well as a request to use their logos to âÂÂco-badgeâ the final version:
⢠British Retail Consortium
⢠Red Tractor Assurance
⢠NFU
⢠NFU Cymru
⢠Farmersâ Union of Wales
⢠NFU Scotland
⢠SRUC (ScotlandâÂÂs Rural College)
⢠HGCA
This guide should prove to be a valuable tool for farmers. You need take no action, but are welcome to share any thoughts/observations/comments by Friday 30th May.
