 __Relevance to algae:__ The Nitrates Directive restricts the application of nitrogen from agricultural and organic sources to land in designated "nitrate vulnerable zones". Algal biomass, digestate from algae-fed anaerobic digestion, and algae-based fertilising products are all potential sources of agricultural nitrogen; their use is subject to the Nitrates Directive's application restrictions where they contain nitrogen forms that could leach. This is particularly relevant for algae grown on and retaining nutrients from agricultural wastewater or nutrient-rich effluent.
