Grow Up Salicornia - Salt Plants from Saxony-Anhalt
The aim of the innovation project "Salt Plants from Saxony-Anhalt" is to test the organic cultivation of salt-tolerant plants (such as glassworts and sea aster) for a use as foodstuff. Salt plants are adapted to growth in soils that are rich in salt. Natural sites for salt-tolerant vegetation in Germany are e.g. coastal areas. However, there are also natural inland salt depositions. Nearby Staßfurt in Salzlandkreis, Sayony-Anhalt, saline water (brine), stemming from ancient marine sources, reaches the surface and deposits. Its suitability as a nutrient and water source for the cultivation of salt-tolerant plants is tested within the project. The objective is to spare scarce freshwater resources. Furthermore, by-products from pot-ash mining and table salt production are tested as a nutrient basis for the cultivation of salt-tolerant plants. Thus, so far unused resources are introduced to food production.
In order to be able to monitor and control the cultivation of sensitive salt plants, cultivation takes place under greenhouse conditions. The aim is to gather important agronomic experience concerning the cultivation of salt-tolerant plants.
