Auswaschungsverluste unter biologischer und konventioneller Bewirtschaftung

In this project, located at Winklhof, a comparison between organic and conventional farming is done. The field trial combines a crop rotation with two levels of fertilisation intensities (one is 1.0 LU ha- and the other is 1.8 LU ha-1). The fertilisation-systems are stable-manure and liquid manure, the treatments were done organically. The aim of this project is to find out which production system is better for the environment in spite of crop yield, product quality and leaching losses. The last parameter was measured in lysimeters. A high amount of yearly precipitation could account the high amount of seepage water. Consequently the leaching losses of both production systems could be compared

Unbekannte Andenlupine: Erste Anbauerfahrungen aus Österreich

Die Andenlupine ist eine einjährige Leguminose mit einem hohen Protein- und Ölgehalt. Diese Pflanze ist in Mitteleuropa praktisch unbekannt. Im Rahmen eines EU-Projektes prüft die Abteilung Bio-Ackerbau der HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein an zwei Standorten die Entwicklung sowie den Ertrag der Andenlupine. Im Jahr 2017 wurden 21 verschiedene Herkünfte in kleinen Parzellen am Standort Lambach ausgesät. Die verbliebenen Samen wurden in Mikroparzellen am Standort Trautenfels ausgesät, um die Pflanzen im alpinen Klima zu testen. Die Pflanzenentwicklung war ziemlich gut, aber schlechte Keimraten von 0 bis 40% führten zu Unkrautproblemen

Bionet Österreich – ein Projekt zum verbesserten Wissenstransfer von der Forschung zur Praxis

The concept of Bionet comprises different education and consulting activities. The first step is the adaptation and evaluation of national and international scientific results in respect to regional Austrian site conditions. This will be achieved by cultivation trials consolidated in a nationwide farm network. Interested producers will have the oppor-tunity to obtain the newest organic results relevant for their growing sides. The aim of the project is an efficient transfer of practice-oriented know-how by means of work-shops, meetings, hand-outs and via internet: www.bio-net.at

Organic Cultivation in Spring 2016 - Varieties, Seeds and Crop management

The leaflet addresses organic arable farmers and contains a broad overview of varieties. Relevant characteristics of varieties for organic farming and the availability of organic seeds are listed. Additionally, the results of field trials with grain legumes, corn, soy and oil fruits all over the country are presented

Die Andenlupine: eine unbekannte Leguminose stellt sich vor. Erste Erfahrungen zum Anbau in Österreich

Die Andenlupine (Lupinus mutabilis) ist eine einjährige Leguminose mit einem hohen Eiweiß- und Ölgehalt. In Mitteleuropa ist diese Kulturpflanze kaum bekannt; im Zuge eines EU-Projektes wird die Andenlupine in der Abteilung Biologischer Ackerbau der HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein an den Standorten Lambach und Trautenfels in ihrer Pflanzenentwicklung und Ertragsmöglichkeiten geprüft. 2017 wurden 20 Stämme und 1 Sorte von Andenlupinen in Kleinparzellen am Standort Lambach angebaut; zusätzlich kamen noch zwei Saatstärkenversuche am selben Standort. Mit dem restlichen Saatgut wurden am Standort Trautenfels im alpinen Klimagebiet Kleinstparzellen angelegt, um auch dort erste Erfahrungen sammeln zu können. Die Pflanzenentwicklung verlief gut, ein Problem stellte die Verunkrautung wegen der teilweise sehr geringen Keimrate von 0 – 40 % dar (Hein & Waschl 2018)

Organic cultivation in autumn 2016 - Varieties, Seeds and Crop management

Additionally, the results of field trials all over the country with winter wheat, winter spelt, winter rye, winter triticale and winter barley are presented

State and progress of Andean lupin cultivation in Europe: a review

ReviewLupinus mutabilis is an important source of protein in different Andean countries, and its use in diets, particularly those of less wealthy individuals, has been observed for thousands of years. There is an increasing demand for protein crops suitable for Europe and this species is a potential candidate. Assessment of Lupinus mutabilis genetic material in European conditions started more than 40 years ago, with the characterization of a vast number of accessions from the Andean region. In this review, abiotic and biotic constraints to L. mutabilis cultivation in European soil and climatic conditions are discussed, and cultivation management practices are suggested. The beneficial interaction of L. mutabilis with Bradyrhizobium strains in the soil and various pollinator species is also discussed, and the effect of abiotic stresses on these interactions is highlighted. Prospects of alternative uses of L. mutabilis biomass in Northern Europe and opportunities for breeding strategies are discussed. In conclusion, the different approach to crop modeling for Southern and Northern European climatic conditions is highlightedinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
