Cooperative test Bavaria concerning the use of herb-rich sowings as biogas substrate (phase II) (Wildpflanzen II)
Project
Project code: N/14/08
Contract period: 01.04.2014
- 31.03.2017
Purpose of research: Applied research
Perennial mixtures of wild species offer long flowering and permanent soil coverage. The mixtures can be used as biogas substrate reserve but data basis for Bavarian site conditions is still low. Thus, the project aims to evaluate the multi-year biomass and methane yields of the wild species mixture for Bavarian site conditions. The focus is on the comparison of the mixture crop in its 4th and 5th year with reference crop maize. The development of the plant species in the mixture and the quality of the mixture biomass as biogas substrate will be further validated. Also, the transformation of soil parameters during the shift of crop from wild species to established crops will be monitored and the occurrence of weeds will be evaluated concerning costs for suppression.
