The survival of pathogenic and spoilage micro‐organisms in soil and on grass fertilized with spiked anaerobic digestion residue (ADR) was investigated in a climate chamber during periods of up to 56 d. In addition, the survival of these organisms over time was investigated during ensiling of grass a...
