Development of innovative strategies for renunciation on Glyphosate in conservation tillage
The ‚National Plan of Action for plant protection‘(NAP) describes the sustainable use of plant protection agents with the aim to reduce and replace chemical plant protection as far-reaching as possible through treatments of integrated pest management. Especially relating to conventionally managed conservation agriculture, used weed control technologies are going to change. To keep conservation tillage and no-till systems with all known advantages in use, the aim of this project is to develop an agricultural strategy for alternative cultivation systems without using glyphosate for weed control. For this purpose, different strategies for weed suppression are going to be observed in a three- year crop rotation, comparing herbicide application (Glyphosate) with electrophysical weed control and innovative approaches of mechanical and biological weed control. The operational group uses Smart Farming technologies (geo-referenced sampling, drones, multispectral cameras, thermal cameras, soil scanning, satellite data) to test different agronomical process combinations and to make the results available for practical use within a decision model.
With the implementation of the sunk project, alternatives to glyphosate were to be tested in a 4-year crop rotation. The focus was on evaluating the variants (chemical, mechanical, electrophysical and biological) with regard to their practical feasibility for farms working without ploughs. Furthermore, environmental, and ecological aspects as well as the economic efficiency of the cultivation systems were to be evaluated.
The 4-year results show that a substitution of the total herbicide glyphosate by shallow mechanical tools for the control of weeds and volunteer cereals is generally possible without major losses in the contribution margin. However, the labour time requirement increases significantly. In all crops, the weeds could only be insufficiently suppressed by the electroherb application. This meant that the crops developed less well than the other variants tested, which was also reflected in the yield. The high machine costs for... (see final report).
