Organic crop rotations for grain production

01/01/1970

Organic farming relies on a fertile interaction between soil, crops and livestock. The character of the crop rotation is therefore of great importance for both productivity and sustainability. A crop rotation experiment was started in 1997. The experiment will investigate the effects of rotational design and of fertiliser level on yield, nutrient leaching and weed infestation.

The experiment is part of the experimental units for research and experimentation in organic farming coordinated by the Danish Research Centre for Organic Farming ( DARCOF ).
