Testing innovative farming strategies for upland organic dairy farming
Project
Project code: EIP-Agri-SA-2017-LPPG01
Contract period: 01.01.2017
- 31.12.2019
Budget: 105,861 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: farming practice/activity, plant production and horticulture
Due to the prevailing natural conditions upland organic farms frequently produce milk. To succeed they need a stable feed production with high yields. The project aims at testing new crop cultivation methods for upland organic farming to improve yields and to increase yield stability. Three approaches will be tested in particular: a) fostering plant growth of maize at early growth stages, b) deriving a cultivation method for a more yield stable and protein rich upland grain legumes production, and c) improving yield stability of winter oilseed rape through an appropriate preceding crop and mixed farming with winter pea.
