Pest Control in Organic Farming

, 2019
Organic farming is an environmentally friendly farming system that produces food based on the ecological balance of ecosystems, preventing soil fertility decline or pest problems. It is a proactive alternate approach to intensive agriculture, minimizing its adverse effects and contributing to maintaining soil quality and enhancing biodiversity.

One Iron Injection Is Not Enough—Iron Status and Growth of Suckling Piglets on an Organic Farm

Animals, 2019
Suckling piglets cannot satisfy their demand for the essential trace element iron from sows’ milk alone, which is poor in iron. Therefore, iron is usually supplemented by injecting 200 mg iron (as iron dextran) on day 3 post natum.

Sudden anaerobization in Amphibacillus xylanus increases intracellular labile ferrous iron and inhibits cell growth

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Abruptly changing from aerobic to anaerobic conditions (sudden anaerobization) induced growth inhibition and a significant increase in intracellular labile ferrous iron in the aerotolerant anaerobe Amphibacillus xylanus. We found that free flavins mediate efficient electron transfer from NADH to ferric iron under anaerobic conditions, suggesting that ...

Legume-based crop rotation sustain the soil biodiversity, fertility levels, productivity, and profitability: evidence from a long-term study under Indian subtropical conditions

Frontiers in Agronomy
Prolonged cultivation of the rice–wheat system in the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) has led to soil degradation, groundwater depletion, and reduced input use efficiency, necessitating resilient and diversified cropping systems.

Implementation of the concept of sustainable intensification to a real farm – Was its development over 17 years a sustainable intensification?

International Journal of Agricultural Sustainability, 2020
‘Sustainable intensification’ (SI) in agriculture is the objective of several contributions. An important question concerns whether farms have already reached SI? To answer this question, an assessment approach is required.
