Project Title

Quality grains Saxony 2020

Project description

Substantial changes in German fertilizer 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.

Results focusing on practiceorientation

It has been possible, taking into account the reduced input of nitrogen and crop protection, to adapt the various site-specific production processes in such a way that "quality cereals" could be produced. The value chain in Saxony is stable as long as the elements of production are not further restricted. The expansion of the cultivation spectrum to include new crop types (spelt, durum, emmer) and their testing for suitability for cultivation and processing is forward-looking, and the changed dietary habits of the population and the demand for more regionality of food are taken into account.
