BioSeed Green bridge to regenerative climate-adapted agriculture: Biotisation of seeds for nutrient management, humus formation and CO2 binding in mai
In the BioSeed project, seven factors for regenerative agriculture are being networked: (1) Comparison of organic/conventional/conservative cultivation, (2) use of mycorrhizal fungi and of (3) soil bacteria, (4) seed treatment, (5) cultivation of catch crops, (6) determination of the glomaline fraction and the water storage capacity of the soil, and (7) carbon sequestration. In the innovation field of 'Regenerative Agriculture', experienced partners are working together to develop practical and economical methods for resource-saving nutrient and plant protection management in conventional/conservation and organic farming, with humus formation and strengthening of soil life. The biotisation of seeds improves the greenhouse gas balance of maize cultivation. Thus, BioSeed contributes to a safe and sustainable food supply, improves processes for environmental conservation, climate change mitigation and adaptation to its effects. At the same time, it provides the necessary bridge between cutting-edge research and technology and farmers, companies, NGOs and advisory services.
The expectation from the project was an optimized catch crop mixture that would lead to a reduction in the risk of erosion in maize cultivation. Soil degradation should be slowed down by activating soil life through the addition of mycorrhiza and bacterial preparations.
With biotized seeds, the greenhouse gas balance (GHG balance) should be improved, and an increased use of nutrients should be achieved. Due to a higher nutrient use efficiency, mineral fertilizer inputs can be reduced or saved. This is extremely important, especially with the finite phosphorus (P) reserves.
Through precise knowledge of the soil carbon cycle, losses should be avoided in order to se-cure or increase the yield potential in the long term. The sustainable water balance of the soil is closely linked to the soil carbon content and is decisive for the yield potential.
Above all, there is the transfer of knowledge from science to practice, as well as the testing of the measures for practi
