The Salikneta Farm is also a place of research and under the NexCities Project is the site where a full-scale fertiliser production plant is being installed. The NexCities Project is the winner of the 2019 Newton Prize which aims to convert sewage to fertiliser. On-the-ground testing of the fertiliser produced from wastewater will also be done at Salikneta.
A team of scientists from DLSAU-AGSI are in charge of the production of struvite from waste water septage and subsequently testing its efficacy as a fertilizer to selected crops under field and greenhouse conditions. This activity will be managed by the four-person team of comprised of Project Manager Maria Eda Apple A.
