Biogas is gaining growing importance as renewable energy source in Germany and Europe and the amounts of substrate residues from biogas production, called digestates, are concomitantly increasing. The composition and properties of digestates largely depend on its feedstock which is currently dominated by the use of dedicated energy crops, namely maize in Germany. The objectives of this thesis were therefore to: i) quantify and compare ammonia (NH3) emissions after field application of different animal manures and digestates (from animal manures and digested maize) and to determine the effect of mechanical substrate separation on NH3 emission, ii) determine the effect of different fertilizer types (i.e. calcium nitrate, digestate from maiz...
