Title:
Safety and effectiveness of Struvite from black water and urine as a phosphorus fertilizer
Author:
K.Gell et al.
Year:
2011
Bibliographic source:
Journal of Agricultural Science, Vol.3, No.3, 67-80

other: no data
Deviations:
not specified
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of study / information:
Struvite was assessed for safety under Dutch regulations. Struvite did not exceed Dutch regulations for heavy metals or pathogens. Struvite had similar effectiveness to soluble fertilizer. 200 kg P2O5/ha of Struvite improved maize performance.
