Lignin-Coated Fertilizers for Phosphate Control
We will develop and test a novel, bio-based, fertilizer coating that slows nutrient release to reduce nutrient runoff from agricultural fields based on modified cellulose and lignin extracted from wood.
$250,000 the second year is from the trust fund to the Board of Regents of the University of Minnesota for the Natural Resources Research Institute in Duluth to test a new, natural, slow-release fertilizer coating made from processed wood to decrease phosphorus runoff from farmland while also storing carbon in soils. This appropriation is subject to Minnesota Statutes, section 116P.10.
