What is false seed bed preparation?

> harrow before sowing

> weed seeds germinate

> plants are removed

> sowing

 

Weed control conv. vs. organic

conv.: presowing: gylphosate (unselective herbicide) >> post-sowing: selective herbicide

org.: pre-sowing (seed-beed-prearation) >>> pre-emergence: blind harrow >> post emergance: hoe, harrow

Wheat classes and their use

A + E for bread making

B in mixture also for bread making

Ck for Cookies

Correlation between protein content and yield

high yield >>> low protein content

correlation row distance and protein content

higher row distance >> higher protein content

Quality criteria for cereals

.

Which mycotoxins do you know? Which problems do they cause?

.

How to avoid Fusariummycotoxins in Organic Farming
(No fungicides permitted!)

.

Why using hybrids? + Negative aspect

Heterosis: F1 generation does outperform the parents (herosis)

disadvantage: F2 is very diverse

Breeding types of plants

.

Breeding types of plants

.

Buying seeds vs. reusing seeds

Reusing: (-) seeds need to be prepared (cleaning etc.)
(-) fee must be paid to the breeding company

maize and sugarbeet are usually grown as hybrids

What are semi-dwarf varieties? Are they suitable for organic farming?

Extra short varieties. POROBLEM: soil born diseases

Why making tillage?

- land clearing
- weed control
- seed bed preparation
- root penetration
- water drainage
- aeration

What is this?

Spring tine cultivator / chisel plough

What is this?

A harrow: used to make the upper soil layer finer

Tillag events (conventional tillage)

.

Conventional tillage (Stubble tillage)

 

Coltivator, harrows

 

>> Lossening and mixing (10-20cm)

 

>> Weed and volunteer contole, incooperation of residues, stops evaporation, seadbed preparation for catch crop

Primary Tillage: Implement + Operation + Effect

Plough

>>Inversion and loosening of the soil

>> weed control, increased mineralization, incooperating of residues or manure

Seedbed preparation

Harrow

>> crumbling, consolidating (festigen

>> water and oxygen supply for germination, physical growing conditions for seedlings

Possible negative effects of ploughing

- erosion
- disturbance of soil organisms
- deep layer with crop residues
- crusting

Advantages and disadvantages of Conventional Tillage (with moldboard plough)

+ enhances mineralization
+ effective weed control

- higher erosion
- reduces SOM
- disturbance of soil organisms
- crusting
- labour and energy consuming
 

What is conservation tillage? + Events on the fields

> 30% of the soil is covered with mulch

Implement, Operation and Effect of stubble tilage, primary tiallage and seedbed preparation in conservation tillage

primary tillage with rigid tine cultivator

Event in zero-tillage / direct seeding

.

What is false seedbed preparation?

.

Why three years of clover grass?

- In the first year clover is less competetive >> longer for good weed suppression

- implementation of a good plant stand takes time >> can be used for feed

- better N fixation

N Mineralization curve

.

Vertical distribution of (weed) seeds in the soil by tillage

.

R: Options for reduced tillage in OF I

.

R: Options for reduced tillage in OF II

.

Advantages of conservation tillage

+ better soil sturcture
+ lessen energy and labour required
+ carbon sequestration
+ water storage
+ more soil life activity
+ better trafficability (low compaction)

 

- less aeration
- higher weed pressure
- reduced mineralization

Quality criteria of cereals

Product quality
-Sensory properties: colour, scent, flavour
-Nutrient value: carbohydrates, protein, fat, fibre, minerals
-Food safety: absence of residues from pesticides, heavy metals, mycotoxins

Technical quality(processing): depending on use:
milling, bread making quality, starch, protein

Emotional quality
-Absence of GMOs
-Environmental protection
-Animal welfare

Aims and restrictions of organic wheat production

Aims
-High bread making quality
-Control and increase of N-supply
-Healthy plants/low mycotoxin content
 

Restrictions in organic farming
-Nearly no readily available N-fertilizers
-Poor control of timing of N-mineralization
-No chemical-synthetic fungicides

Maycotoxins of fusarium ssp

•DON: Deoxynivanelol
•ZEA: Zearalenone

Mycotoxin levels in organic vs. conventional

no clear tendency

Give reasons why organic wheat is not more mycotoxin infected than conventional wheat, although fungicides are not permitted.

Reasons
-Soil inversion by the mouldboard plough
-Long crop rotation
-Fast maturation of organic wheat compared to conventional wheat
