Project Title

Sustainable yield increase in ecological cash cropping as a result of individually optimized catch cropping

Project description

The preservation and enhancement of soil fertility are especially in organic farming  the basis of long-term, sustainable development. This includes the enhancement of soil life, as well as the supply of soil nutrients. With increasing specialization of organic farms ,new, individual farms need to develop strategies to increase soil fertility in organic crop production. The OG Nutrient Management and Yield Increase in Ecological Cash Cropping will develop innovative solutions to increase profitability performance by a catch crop in organic crop production. The goal of this project is to evaluate and compare the potential of different catch crops and strategies of catch cropping between different site types in connection with soil preservation and enhancement of soil fertility. The related yield performance of the following crops is studied at the participating farms and at agricultural experiment stations.
