Green bridge to regenerative climate-adapted agriculture: Biotisation of seeds for nutrient management, humus formation and CO2 binding in maize
Project
Project code: EIP-Agri-Ni-2020-PPGB
Contract period: 01.01.2020
- 31.12.2022
Budget: 498,667 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: plant production and horticulture, soil
In the BioSeed project, seven factors for regenerative agriculture are being networked: (1) Comparison of organic/conventional/conservative cultivation, (2) use of mycorrhizal fungi and of (3) soil bacteria, (4) seed treatment, (5) cultivation of catch crops, (6) determination of the glomaline fraction and the water storage capacity of the soil, and (7) carbon sequestration. In the innovation field of 'Regenerative Agriculture', experienced partners are working together to develop practical and economical methods for resource-saving nutrient and plant protection management in conventional/conservation and organic farming, with humus formation and strengthening of soil life. The biotisation of seeds improves the greenhouse gas balance of maize cultivation. Thus, BioSeed contributes to a safe and sustainable food supply, improves processes for environmental conservation, climate change mitigation and adaptation to its effects. At the same time, it provides the necessary bridge between cutting-edge research and technology and farmers, companies, NGOs and advisory services.
