Resilience and physiological interactions of wheat rapeseed mixed crops und water limited conditions (Resilienz und physiologische Interaktionen in Weizen-Raps Gemengekultur unter wasserlimitierten Bedingungen)
Project
Project code: 2823ABS028
Contract period: 01.09.2024

Budget: 283,096 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: crop production, climate change adaptation, rape seed, water (water protection, water supply system), wheat
Global change is causing increasing uncertainties in the water supply of arable crops. Therefore, resilient cropping systems will be required in the future that have high yield stability in the face of fluctuating water supply. Mixed cropping systems are often credited with more efficient resource use and increased yield stability compared to single crops of agricultural crops. Wheat and rapeseed are two of the most important crops for the supply of staple foods in Germany, but they are almost exclusively grown as single crops. The aim of this project is to investigate whether a mixed crop of wheat and oilseed rape exhibits increased yield stability under water-limited environmental conditions. This is to be achieved by the fact that oilseed rape reaches deep soil layers through the development of a taproot and can moisten the topsoil in dry phases via hydraulic lift.
