FANDAGA: New malting barley with excellent quality properties and good yield level

Interview of Dr. Lissy Kuntze, Nordsaat, breeder of FANDAGA Already broadly acknowledged for its agronomic performance as well as the interest of the industry, FANDAGA was approved as a malting barley by French CBMO committee in 2018. Several industrial pilot maltings are currently running with main european maltsters. Follow the interview below with the spring barley breeder Lissy Kuntze, head of breeding at Nordsaat, a shareholder of SAATEN-UNION.

An interesting alternative to spring peas

The growing of frost tolerant field peas is becoming more attractive, as new varieties promise greater cultivation reliability.

Diverse crop rotation: What does it achieve and cost?

Crop rotation diversity is the most important agronomical answer for a wide range of current challenges – reaching from plant protection issues, extreme weather conditions to the amendment of current fertiliser regulations. Thus, are crop rotations with less lucrative plant varieties viable? How does it influence humus content and nutrient balance? Sven Böse evaluated different crop rotations.

Rye on marginal sites

Often it only makes economic sense to grow rye on less fertile and sandy soils. However, even on better sandy or marginal sites (up to 40 soil points, German soil classification) the question arises again and again in regard to which winter cereal might be the most profitable one.

Variety selection 2016: Efficient varieties fighting low prices

The cereal price situation is demanding even better performing and cost-saving varieties. Only: No variety encompasses all the advantages. Therefore the crop cultivation businesses must weigh up and calculate the pros and cons.

Feeding nutrient reduced with rye

More than ever pig production is influenced by social demands for more animal welfare, less emissions and nutrient losses into the environment. Thus, for better social acceptance changes – in feeding systems – are necessary. But of course without limiting profitability. “Feed more rye”, demands Dr. Wilke Griep.

Rye shows advantages in regard to climate change

In the year 2019 many farms have emphasised on diversity in order to fulfil agronomical challenges and public expectations. Therefore, the extremely versatile winter rye was able to regain considerable amounts of cultivation area. Fenja Luhmann, product manager hybrid rye explains that there are good reasons.

Hybrid rye - often more economical than wheat

MyRye delivers comprehensive information on all aspects of rye production, whose potential is often underestimated, ranging from marketing & processing to economy and crop cultivation issues. As rainfall stays more frequently absent in spring/early summer and an increasingly smaller amount of nitrogen fertilisation is permitted hybrid rye shows its advantages compared to winter wheat and took the lead in many regions in the year 2018. Rye has also become indispensable in the crop rotation on the farm of Lars Meinecke from Barwedel in the district of Gifhorn.
