Developing strategies for maintaining and increasing soil fertility: cropping systems combining pulses with mulch husbandry (Collaborative project)

Strategies to improve the performance of organic grain legumes (faba bean and pea) were tested in numerous field trials all over Germany. The key objectives were to evaluate the effect of reduced soil tillage / occasional direct seeding in combination with mulching, cover crops and nutrient supply on crop growth and yield. After reduced soil tillage / direct seeding compared with ploughing crop...

BEST: strengthen bio-regions - new system solutions in the field of ecological, economic and social requirements (Collaborative project)

Generating energy from biomass – i.e. bioenergy – currently appears to be a highly relevant topic. Bioenergy has the potential to substitute energy from fossil fuels and reduce CO2-emissions if energy efficient techniques will be implemented. However, bioenergy is also highly disputed. Due to limited acreage and rising competition for space it is confronted with various user interests....
