Wie lässt sich Drahtwurmfraß an Kartoffeln im Ökologischen Landbau reduzieren? [PDF]
Wireworms are very important animal pests in ecological farming. Some strategies were tested to regulate wireworm damage in potato farming. Forecrops such as an-nual legumes reduce the damage by wireworms under 10%.

Abstract As for any innovation, integrating farmland biodiversity into agricultural practices is a complex process, leading to decisions made under uncertainty, due to the difficulty of foreseeing the consequences of decisions. This uncertainty comes under many different forms, depending among others on the type of environmental innovation in ...

The influence of organic and conventional fertilisation and crop protection practices, preceding crop, harvest year and weather conditions on yield and quality of potato (Solanum tuberosum) in a long-term management trial [PDF]
The effects of organic versus conventional crop management practices (fertilisation, crop protection) and preceding crop on potato tuber yield (total, marketable, tuber size grade distribution) and quality (proportion of diseased, green and damaged ...

Abstract Biomonitoring of agriculturally important insects is increasingly vital given our need to understand: (a) the severity of impacts by pests and pathogens on crop yield and health and (b) the impact of environmental change and land management on insects, in line with sustainable development and global conservation targets.

Using crop rotation to control wireworms (OK-Net Arable Practice Abstract) [PDF]
• Perennial grass-clover leys promote wireworms. For this reason, a perennial cultivation of grass-clover ley should be avoided if there is any indication of wireworm infestation.

Co‐encapsulated Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Metarhizium brunneum interacted beneficially but also competed for resources. Depending on the composition of beads, steep oxygen gradients with internal hypoxic zones and temporary severe acidification occurred.

Canopy closure, yield, and quality under heterogeneous plant spacing in sunflower
Abstract Deviation from uniform target plant population density in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) production may negatively affect canopy closure, yield, and grain quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of plant density heterogeneity on yield, quality, and canopy closure in confectionery and oilseed sunflowers.
