Effect of Incorporation of Hairy Vetch and Rye Grown as Cover Crops on Weed Suppression Related with Phenolics and Nitrogen Contents of Soil

open access: yesPlant Production Science, 2010
Characterization of the release of degradable components of cover crops is important for determining the quality of soil nutrients for the following crop and weed occurrence. We have examined the temporal changes in soil phenolic carbon (C) and nitrogen (

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

open access: yesAnimals, 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.

Pest Control in Organic Farming

open access: yes, 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.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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?

open access: yesInternational 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.

Spatial Distribution of the Pepper Blight (Phytophthora capsici) Suppressive Microbiome in the Rhizosphere

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The properties of plant rhizosphere are dynamic and heterogeneous, serving as different habitat filters for or against certain microorganisms. Herein, we studied the spatial distribution of bacterial communities in the rhizosphere of pepper plants ...
