Kristīne Irtiševa, post-graduate student at Riga Technical University (RTU) Faculty of Materials Engineering and Applied Chemistry, develops an innovative soil enrichment technology using the treasure from Latvian bogs – peat. “Latvia has plenty of peat resources, but they could be used more effectively by creating products with high added value,” believes K. Irtiševa. Having previously

Kristīne Irtiševa, post-graduate student at Riga Technical University (RTU) Faculty of Materials Engineering and Applied Chemistry, is researching humus production from high quality peat. Currently humus tests on plants are being conducted. “I have been researching peat and sapropel with the aim to produce granules from these materials since my undergraduate studies. I figured that

We all know what peat is. Farmers and gardeners know how well various plants grow directly in peat. In Riga Technical University, Kristīne Irtiševa works on innovative soil enhancers that are made from peat and that will be available as sprayable liquids in the future. How did Latvian scientists manage to turn peat into liquid?

The lab where the young RTU scientist Kristīne Irtiševa works along with her colleague Andrejs Šiškins looks like something from the Harry Potter novels. Numerous flasks with colourful liquids, various jars and vessels with powders and other substances one would like to feel and sniff. Luckily, it is allowed to do so – the scientists
