Besides yield reduction weeds have positive effects, like enhancing biodiversity or reducing soil erosion. The aim of the work is to enhance biodiversity without yield losses. In growing season 2021/22 a field experiment with winter triticale was conducted to experience the impact of mechanical weed control, sowing date and sowing rate. Especially hoeing had a positive impact on vegetative growth and grain yield while weed growth was inhibited but weed biodiversity stayed equal or increased. A lower seed rate or an earlier sowing date made in general no difference at flowering or harvesting stage.
To assess the effect of intercropping on malting quality a field trial with spring barley (Hordeum vulgare) and legume (pea) as well as non-legume (camelina and linseed) intercrops in two additive seeding ratios as well as sole cops was established in 2017 at the organic experimental station of University of Applied Sciences Osnabrück in North-Western Germany. Two tested malting barley cultivars (cv. Marthe and cv. Odilia) showed different performance, but all variants achieved brewing quality. Results after two years indicate that linseed and camelina were able to limit protein content. For best land-use efficiency of malting barley production intercropping with linseed showed best results. Mixed intercropping can help to promote internal efficiency loops and is therefore a promising sustainable intensification strategy for more resilient future crop production under changing climate conditions.
Nitrogen (N) pollution of groundwater bodies is often a result of high livestock densities combined with use of mineral N fertilisers in Northwest Germany, specifically in combination with sandy soils and high amounts of precipitation. Organic agriculture is discussed as an alternative management practice reducing nitrogen losses due to area-based livestock densities and waiving of mineral N fertilisers. A field trial with integrated ceramic suction cups over three years showed potential for reduced N loads under conventional management specifically with organic fertilisation. Now, the field trial is under transition into organic farming with promising additional benefits for drinking water quality and the great potential to develop optimised N management strategies.
Mit einem systematischen Ansatz konnte basierend auf gering aufgelösten Daten (Bodenkarte, Höhenmodell, Landnutzungsklassifikation) das theoretische Expansionspotential für Ackerflächen in der Provinz Tjumen (Westsibirien, Russische Föderation) abgeschätzt werden. Die theoretisch mögliche Ausdehnung der Ackernutzung um 57% in den landwirtschaftlich relevanten Gebieten konnte allerdings nur zur Hälfte mit Groundtruthdaten in 3 Testareas (je 400 km²) validiert werden. Darüber hinaus waren 52% dieser positiven Validierungspunkte auf Ackerbrachen verortet, die derzeit nicht ökonomisch rentabel zu bewirtschaften sind. Insgesamt kann daher nur eine Expansion der Ackerflächen um 14,5% (? 1900 km² bzw. 1,1% der Gesamtfläche) als potentiell möglich angesehen werden.
