Is one #duckweed species more suited than the other to grow on pig #manure? 🤔 That is what we are assessing in a series of tolerance tests! Spoiler alert: yes, it seems some species are better for this application 🤩 We hope to publish these results soon, so follow us for more

Our PhD student, Marie Lambert, gave an oral presentation at the #RETASTE conference on introducing #duckweed as a novel crop in Flandres! One of our current challenges is the preservation of duckweed, as it contains a lot of moisture. One promising solution? Ensiling💡
