Presentation / Conference
Swaffield, A. R., Crew, A., & Bonnett, S. (2022, July). Exploration of shrimp shell chitin as an agricultural biostimulant and its effects on soil microbial respiration. Poster presented at 22nd World Congress of Soil Science, Glasgow, UK

Chitin (poly-(1→4)-β-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine) is a novel bio-stimulant derived from an inert by-product from sustainable fish production. This study observed the effect of chitin derived from shrimp shells on agricultural soil microorganism metabolism...
