Cultivating strategies for overcoming the specific apple or asparagus replant disease (New Soil 2)
Project
Project code: EIP-Agri-BR-2017-LPPGB01
Contract period: 01.01.2017
- 31.12.2019
Budget: 751,595 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: Farming practice/activity Plant production and horticulture Soil
In the future permanent crops like apple and asparagus will be planted on areas, where already apple trees or asparagus had grown, because of a lack of substitutional areas. However, new plantings on the same area cause growth depression, lower yields and losses while growing up. Microbial problems of the specific replant disease and abiotic factors have an influence on these disadvantages. The aim of the project is the development and testing of specific cultivating strategies for soil and climate conditions in Brandenburg in order to overcome the specific apple or asparagus replant disease. The effectiveness of these strategies shall be evaluated. The intent is to facilitate the production of apples and asparagus on available areas without lower yields due to replanting. Part of the cultivating strategies for preservation and improvement of soil fertility is the introduction of different substrates, which causes microbial carbonization. Other strategies are the ridge planting of apple trees, the inoculation with beneficial microorganisms and the use of new, resistant apple rootstocks.
