Field trial update
LIT and its 90%-owned subsidiary Envirostream Australia Pty Ltd’s field testing of fertiliser blends containing manganese micronutrients derived from spent alkaline batteries recycled by Envirostream have demonstrated successful uptake of these micronutrients in a field setting.
The uptake of manganese from the micronutrients being trialled was in line with, or superior to, that for comparable, commercially available treatments.
This result demonstrates that wheat cultivation can benefit from the manganese in fertiliser blends containing the manganese recovered from spent alkaline batteries by Envirostream.
