Influence of management techniques on the structure and function of the soil microflora. Subproject (Project)
Soil (micro)biota are the architects of soil quality and consequently control most ecosystem services provided by soils, including crop quality and yield, safe guarding of drinking water, sequestration of carbon and nitrogen or reduction of erosion. Furthermore soil biota are often considered as early indicators of changes in soil quality due to their fast turnover time. Therefore in the frame of...

Reduced tillage and green manures for sustainable organic cropping systems (TILMAN-ORG). Subproject: Improved Nutrient Management in Reduced Tillage Systems by Use of Green Manures and Appropriate Off-Farm Inputs (Project)
Reduced tillage and green manures are efficient conservation agriculture tools that can be adapted, in order to further improve organic crop production systems. The goals of TILMAN-ORG are to design improved organic cropping systems with enhanced productivity and nutrient use efficiency, a more efficient weed management and increased biodiversity, but lower carbon footprints, in particular by...

Interveg: Enhancing multifunctional benefits of cover crops - vegetables intercropping (Project)
The multifunctionality of living mulch systems was the underlying research question for field trials with cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. convar. Botrytis) and leek (Allium porrum L.). Field trials were conducted at the Hessian Research Estate Frankenhausen over 3 years, parallel demonstration plots were established over 2 years on commercial pilot farms for entomological investigations in a...

Improved contribution of local feed to support 100% organic feed supply to pigs and poultry (Project)
Organic agriculture is a low external input system. Hence, livestock’s dietary nutrient supply should be of complete organic and of predominantly farm own origin. This is problematic for piglets due to their high nutrient requirement and simultaneous lack of organic feed with high protein quality. Therefore, 6 one-phase feeding strategies - 3 types of concentrate diets of various 100% organic...

Commercial organic fertilizers of animal and plant origin for organic farming - characterization and recommendations for the farming practice (Project)
In organic farming commercial fertilizers are increasingly being used. Intensively managed organic farms such as horticulture and cash crop farms without animal husbandry need externally supplied nutrients and organic matter to achieve the high nutrient demand, e.g. of vegetables. Commonly, commercial organic fertilizers derived from animals or plants are used. However, for many of these...

bioC.info - Completion of the register of certified organic operators (Project)
The aim of this project is to enhance www.bioC.info to a complete register of all controlled organic operators in Germany. Some inspection bodies did not publish their data on bioC so far. Through integration of their registers a central research possibility towards organic operators in Germany should be generated. Thereby the search of certified organic operators will be facilitated for...

Is there any difference regarding content of phytochemicals between organically bred wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) versus varieties bred under conventional farming? (Project)
Phytochemicals do have a number of positive effects on human health. Because of that they present an important proof of quality to the consumer. For breeding and for organic farming phytochemicals will present an important characteristic for wheat varieties in the future. In organic grain breeding there is a focus on stable yields and high quality, and even more there has to be strengthening...

Long-term effects of mother-bonded rearing on female calves in organic dairy farming (Project)
Consumers often come up with animal welfare as one reason to buy organic food. Especially, organic dairy farming is seen as a natural way to keep animals but some keeping practices in organic farming are questioned. Cow-calf-separation within 24 hours p.p. is one of them. Studies comparing artificial with motherbonded calf rearing have shown that suckling calves do not show behavioural...
