Substantial changes in German fertiliser and crop protection legislation may threaten the production of high quality grains in Saxony. To meet the tightened legal requirements and to secure existing regional supply chains, the current grain production methods need to be adapted. The operational group wants to provide farmers with in-depth knowledge and reliable operation guidelines. In field trials on four representative production sites in Saxony, the operational group will test various production methods under future legal conditions. Besides wheat the tests will also include spelt, durum and emmer. Based on site-specific comparisons of the included crops optimal application intensities will be derived for each considered region and crop. The results will be summarized in a manual with operation guidelines.
