This publication is based on insights gathered through the programme ‘Three Pilots for Pro-Poor Innovation’ (3P4PPI). Associated business partners are SNV, Mueller B.V., The Fruit Republic and Fresh Studio to develop and implement innovations in Kenya, Vietnam, Ethiopia, Rwanda and Bangladesh. These insights illustrated in this publication will help the private and the public sector scale inclusive innovations and achieve results for the BoP.

This is part one of the research study of Ohio State University on the impact of vermicompost on tea production and plant growth where the research study found out that aerating vermicompost tea during brewing results in significant growth responses, even at the concentration tested.

This study has evaluated eleven precipitated phosphates as sources of phosphorus (P) or plant growth by comparing their effectiveness with that of monocalcium phosphate (MCP), a source of water-soluble P that is generally considered to be fully plant available. The precipitated phosphates comprised Struvites recovered from wastewater discharges (mainly magnesium ammonium phosphate), laboratory synthesised Struvites, a synthetic iron phosphate and a recovered calcium phosphate. The grass dry-matter yields and P offtakes given by the synthetic and recovered Struvites were not significantly different statistically either between themselves or to MCP applied at the same rate. On this basis these Struvites could be used to recycle P to similar soils and the effect of the P on crop yield should be similar to that of MCP.

In 1991, the first subsurface flow constructed wetland for treatment of domestic wastewater was built in Norway. Today, this method is rapidly becoming a popular method for wastewater treatment in rural Norway. This is due to excellent performance even during winter and low maintenance. The systems can be constructed regardless of site conditions.
