Development of innovative liquid fertilizers for organic greenhouse growers

本提案的总体目标是研究和开发更好的有机肥料，以提高水果和蔬菜的产量和品质。UBC专利的微波增强高级氧化工艺（MW-AOP）将被用作将生物降解性较低的有机材料转化为高度可降解的生物肥料的工具。具体目标是：1）选择适合转化的有机残留物; 2）确定微波强化工艺的转化效率和产品的肥料价值。

The overall objective of this proposal is to research and develop better organic fertilizers for improving the yield and quality of fruits and vegetables. The UBC patented microwave enhanced advanced oxidation process (MW-AOP) will be used as a tool to convert less biodegradable organic materials into highly degradable bio-fertilizers. The specific objectives are: 1) to select organic residual materials suitable for the conversion; and 2) to determine the conversion efficiency by the microwave enhanced process and the fertilizer value of the products.
