02 October 2018 - Mission of FARE under the sun of the Reunion Island

Sylvie Recous was welcomed in Saint-Denis de la Réunion at CIRAD by the "Recycling and Risk" research team.

This mission was  part of the collaborations on the management of plant mulches and the recycling of organic products as a substitute for mineral fertilization with CIRAD. It was an opportunity to visit the Reunion site of SOERE PRO, where the agronomic and environmental impacts of the spreading of organic waste products (PRO: sewage sludge, pig slurry, compost of green wastes) are applied as a substitute for mineral fertilization (urea). Also a presentation of the sugar cane sector from production (sRcane experiments) until its transformation (Bois-rouge sugar factory) was done. Discussions focused in particular on the interactions between mulch and PRO and the efficiency of nitrogen use by sugar cane (Daniel Poultney's current PhD).
