Project Title

Establishment of a more sustainable and environment-friendly Wheat Value-Added Chain

Project description

A more sustainable agricultural production is an objective pursued at all political and societal levels. The new fertiliser ordinance tries to contribute to this. For a sustainable and optimised use of nitrogen fertiliser the presently inserted amount of about 200 kgN/ha an more has to be reduced to 170 kg N/ha. Currently a sustainable production of baking wheat throughout the value-added chain - raw material; flour; baked goods - is hardly feasible because it is based on high requirements concerning protein concentration in the grain.These requirements are responsible for the high use of fertiliser and the nitrogen surplus. Various research projects have already demonstrated that the needed baking quality can be achieved using less nitrogen if the following aspects are taken into account: Cultivation of varieties with high gluten quality independent from the raw protein content; Valuation of the baking quality with an optimised baking test based on gluten quality; Adaptation of nitrogen usage. The objective of the project is to establish a sutainable certified system of an adapted use of nitrogen along the value-added chain of baking wheat.
