Project code: 2821ABS170
Contract period: 01.09.2023 - 31.08.2026
Budget: 475,729 Euro
Purpose of research: Demonstration
Keywords: crop production, integrated plant protection, cultivation, crop protection, plant health, precision farming

The future agriulture should diversify cultivation, conserve resources and reduce inputs in order to reduce environmental pollution (climate gas emissions, nitrate leaching, metabolites/residues of pesticides, etc.). However, sustainable and thus future-oriented measures and requirements can only be established in practice if they are also economically viable. The Arable Farming Strategy 2035 shows a multitude of fields of action, how a productive and diverse cultivation can be combined with the basic requirement to continue to supply mankind with safe, sufficient and qualitative food and feed. Therefore, in this demonstration and model project, new or proven practicable methods for the further development of integrated crop production are to be implemented on farms in Baden-Württemberg and demonstrated to other farmers, advisors and the interested public. The measures should be adapted to farm specific possibilities and equipment on site and to the plant cultivation possibilities in a system-oriented approach. Therefore, the following packages of measures are offered; increasing crop diversity, increasing N-fertilization efficiency, reducing the use of plant protection products, reducing the use of inputs, digitalization, promoting biodiversity and climate adaptation.
