Abstract Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) is a short‐duration high‐biomass cover crop often grown in potato (Solanum tuberosum) rotations to provide select agroecosystem services. However, buckwheat's short generation time challenges its continued viability as a cover crop as seed is rapidly produced, resulting in volunteer issues in subsequent ...

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 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 ...

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.

Identification of Agriotes wireworms – Are they always what they appear to be?
Wireworms are internationally recognized as economically important pests with the most damaging wireworms in middle European arable land belonging to the genus Agriotes. From the five species of greater importance in Germany, three (A.
