Exploring the viability of using yerba mate stems as green urea carrier fertilizers
Yerba mate is a brew highly consumed in Argentina and other South Cone Countries. It is made of grounded leaves and stems of Ilex paraguariensis, a native bush. The final content of stems, best known as ¿sticks¿ in commercial products is regulated by the Argentine Food Code (max. 35% w/w) generating an industrial by-product, usually burnt. However, it is rich in organic matter, macro and micronutrients and due to its internal vascular system cavities, it appears an interesting matrix to carry mineral fertilizers into soil. The aim of this work was to study the viability of employing this by-product as a green urea carrier.
