Reduced tillage and green manures for sustainable organic cropping systems (TILMAN-ORG)

Collaborative Project


Contract period: 01.01.2010 - 31.12.2014
Coordinating institution: Research Institute of Organic Agriculture Switzerland

The overall goals of the project Reduced tillage and green manures for sustainable organic cropping systems – TILMAN-ORG are to design improved organic cropping systems with enhanced productivity and nutrient use efficiency, more efficient weed management and increased biodiversity, but lower carbon footprints. Funded by CORE Organic II Funding Bodies, being partners of the FP7 ERA-Net project CORE Organic II.
