Soil change induced by the application of biodigested vinasse concentrate, and its effects on growth of sugarcane

Vinasse (or stillage) is a byproduct from ethanol production, which contains organic matter, K, N, and other plant nutrients that is regularly used as soil fertilizer. However, high transportation costs limits its application in areas far from distilleries. The possibility of biogas production from...

Soil change induced by the application of biodigested vinasse concentrate, and its effects on growth of sugarcane
description Vinasse (or stillage) is a byproduct from ethanol production, which contains organic matter, K, N, and other plant nutrients that is regularly used as soil fertilizer.
