Haulm desiccation in potatos - STEM (desiccation – thermic, electric, mechanical)
The aim of the project is the development, testing, technical optimization and creation of application recommendations of alternative measures of haulm desiccation in potatoes in conventional and ecologic production. In ecologic potato production existing problems with thermic-mechanic desiccation are in focus, in conventionell production the ending permission of Deiquat (Reglone). Two new methods should be adapted: the ElektroSiKa-system, a new method using electrical power, and a method using Haulm pluckers / root cutters, wich is new in the German market. The existing haulm desiccation systems on three farms will be evaluated, the new technics tested in the field and integrated in a new system.
In the project it was possible to show that dessication in potatoes is not only done in one treatment, but is more or less done in a combination of different treatments. The combination of chemical and non-chemical treatments shows the use of integrated plant protection systems in practical agriculture. For opening a canopy mechanical or thermal systems are needed. Besides the technical solutions that are in use, new innovative and unconventional solutions for dessication seems to have great potential.
