Der Einfluss langjähriger Applikation von Biogasgüllen auf die Bodenfruchtbarkeit
(2015-08-04)
Biogasgüllen haben bezüglich ihrer Wirkung auf die Bodenfruchtbarkeit, das Pflanzenwachstum und die Umwelt, Vor- und Nachteile. Als Folge der intensiven Nutzung von Biogas zur Energieerzeugung wurde die Biogasgülle eine der wichtigsten organischen Dünger, mit zunehmender Relevanz für den konventionellen aber auch den ökologischen Landbau. Aufgrund der frühen Entwicklung von Biogas und dem Einsatz von Biogasgüllen in der ökologischen Landwirtschaft in den achtziger Jahren im Nord-Osten Baden-Württembergs sind heute ...

Determination of yield and quality parameters of energy crops applying laboratory and field spectroscopy
(2010-06-04)
A real-time analysis of renewable energy sources, such as arable crops, is of great importance with regard to an optimised process management, since aspects of ecology and biodiversity are considered in crop production in order to provide a sustainable energy supply by biomass.
This study was undertaken to explore the potential of spectroscopic measurement procedures for the prediction of potassium (K), chloride (Cl), and phosphate (P), of dry matter (DM) yield, metabolisable energy (ME), ash and crude fibre contents ...

Factors and mechanisms controlling soil organic carbon turnover in subsoils of agricultural sites
(2016-07-12)
Two-third of the terrestrial C is stored in soils, and more than 50% of soil organic C (SOC) is stored in subsoils from 30 – 100 cm. Hence, subsoil is important as a source or sink for CO2 in the global carbon cycle. Especially the stable organic carbon (OC) is stored in subsoil, as several studies have shown that subsoil OC is of a higher average age than topsoil OC. However, there is still a lack of knowledge regarding the mechanisms of C sequestration and C turnover in subsoil.
Three main factors are discussed, ...

Digital image analysis as a tool to estimate legume contributions in legume-grass swards
(2010-01-29)
Summary: Productivity and forage quality of legume-grass swards are important factors for successful arable farming in both organic and conventional farming systems. For these objectives the botanical composition of the swards is of particular importance, especially, the content of legumes due to their ability to fix airborne nitrogen. As it can vary considerably within a field, a non-destructive detection method while doing other tasks would facilitate a more targeted sward management and could predict the nitrogen ...

Untersuchungen zum Leistungspotenzial des Einsatzes von Arbeitspferden und moderner pferdegezogener Technik im Ökologischen Landbau am Beispiel der Mahd im Grünland
(2017-06-13)
Während der landwirtschaftliche Einsatz von Zugtieren im weltweiten Maßstab nach wie vor eine erhebliche Rolle spielt, wurden die Zugtiere in Deutschland in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren nahezu vollständig vom Schlepper verdrängt. Mit Beginn der 1990er Jahre ist eine langsame Zunahme des
Einsatzes von Arbeitspferden vor allem im Ökologischen Landbau zu beobachten. Aussagekräftige Daten zu Leistungsfähigkeit und Einsatzvoraussetzungen moderner Pferdetechnik fehlen bisher weitgehend, sind jedoch Voraussetzung sowohl ...

The status and barriers to the implementation and continuation of the school gardening projects in Germany, Nigeria and the United States of America
(2010-10-25)
In drawing a conclusion for this study, care must be taken in generalizing findings since the population of students and teachers investigated were limited to certain levels in the different schools and countries. This study recognized some complexity of the factors underlying the status of school gardening instruction and activities in Germany, Nigeria and the U.S. as inadequate time for decision-making in the process of gardening, motivation of teachers and students. This was seen as the major impediments that ...

Analyzing Gene Centres with the Help of the Checklist Method – the Case of Syria
(2016-06-07)
The present survey of species diversity of cultivated plants is the first for Syria. Some cultivated species will be added in the future, because due to the civil war in Syria, it was not possible to visit the country in the frame of the present work, as initially planned. Checklists proved to be a useful tool for overviewing the cultivated plants of selected areas and allow a characterization of the state of plant genetic resources of Syria.
Syria has experienced several civilizations. Man settled in this productive ...

Egyptian wheat
(2009-12-14)
Wheat as the major cereal crop in Egypt is the core of the government's food security policy. But there are rapid losses of the genetic resources of the country as a result of ongoing modernization and development. Thus we compiled the largest possible number of Egyptian accessions preserved in the world gene banks. In the present study we collected nearly 1000 Egyptian wheat accessions. A part from the Triticum species of the Egyptian flora four species have been found, which were
recorded for the first time T. ...

Organic potatoes for processing
(2008-03-10)
Drei Feldversuche auf zwei Standorten (DFH: 51°4, 9°4’, BEL: 52°2’, 8°08’) wurden in den Jahren 2002 bis 2004 durchgeführt, um den Einfluss der Vorfrucht, des Vorkeimens, der N- und K-Düngung und der Sorte auf Nährstoffverfügbarkeit, Gesamt- und sortierte Knollenerträge sowie die Qualität von Kartoffeln und deren Eignung für die industrielle Verarbeitung zu Pommes frites und Chips zu untersuchen. Bestimmt wurden die N- und K-Verfügbarkeit im Boden, die N- und K-Aufnahme von Kraut und Knollen, gesamte Frisch- und ...
