Barley Can Utilise Algal Feriliser to Maintain Yield and Malt Quality Compared to Mineral Fertiliser

David James Ashworth, Stefan Masson, Tom Mulholland, Davide Bulgarelli, Kelly Houston

This study compares barley yield and malt quality when fertilized with microalgal biomass versus mineral fertiliser, finding no significant differences in yield or malt quality when nitrogen levels are equal.
