Project code: EIP-Agri-MP-2015-LPPGW01
Contract period: 01.01.2015 - 31.12.2017
Budget: 355,900 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: farming practice/activity, plant production and horticulture, water, landscape element/diversity

The project is intended to demonstrate the cultivation of fodder and grain legumes as the basis of humus cultivation in two crop sequences and to test new species in exact experiments for cultivation suitability for the present site conditions (dry sand soils). By the cultivation of previously mixed mixtures with legumes (horn clover and / or Sichelluzerne with redhorn), a new culture for the crop rotation on sandy soil is to be established. The cultivation of the alternative legumes and their possible effects for the cultivation of humus have so far not been tested on these extreme sandy soils with low rainfall supply in practice cultivation. Their effects on humus build-up are to be recorded, analyzed and results from these operational tests transferred to broad agricultural practice.
