Enhancing the economic value of organically produced cash crops by optimizing the management of soil fertility
Project
Project code: 2808OE004
Contract period: 01.08.2008
- 31.12.2011
Budget: 384,287 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
To process successfully, the range of problem areas to be able to attract researchers from different scientific disciplines of Agronomy of Phytopathology, Plant Nutrition and Agricultural Engineering through to the soil chemistry, physics and microbiology involvement in the economy together. An important aim: to create synergies and to utilize for practical organic farming.
The project will be handled by a consortium consisting of FiBL Germany and FiBL Switzerland, Bavarian State Institute for Agriculture (LFL), University of Applied Sciences Dresden, Nature Land, Foundation Ecology and Agriculture, University of Kassel and the Johann Heinrich von Thunen Institute. The overall coordination of the scale well over three years research project lies with Klaus-Peter Wilbois of FiBL Germany.
The main objective of the interdisciplinary research project is to take measures to better exploit profit potential for site conditions and develop in order to increase the value to organic farms. The project follows a practical approach to research and focuses on ecological issues viehlose and viehschwache cash crop farms. Focused ways to increase the efficiency of legumes in pure stands and mixed cultures should be explored. These are soil chemical and physical and phytosanitary issues in the forefront of analysis. In addition, revenue-factors and their control will be determined at each location in working farms. Moreover, Ecological suitability secondary raw materials are used fertilizer, and evaluating their impact. All during the project are developed and tested measures of soil fertility management, both a business analysis as well as a technology impact assessment.
