Recommendations for soybean growing

Hybri'density-App supports sowing of hybrid wheat

SAATEN-UNION is now offering a tool to help with sowing hybrid wheat. It supports you from ordering hybrid wheat seed counts to controlling the stand at emergence.

Removing the plough: What change is there in nitrogen fertilisation?

How should nitrogen fertilisation take place when using conserving soil working techniques? A difficult question because arable land can look very different especially when a plough is not used. Dr. Konrad Steinert, LOP Landwirtschaft ohne Pflug (Agriculture without the Plough), explains the solutions.

Feed ration planning with cereals – what is important?

After the harvest the use of feed supplies and the need of supplementary feedstuff for pig feeding have to be carefully evaluated in order to use the existing resources “cereal harvest” and “stocking rate” effectively. An animal feed calculator can be a sensible planning support.

“Only well-established crops lead to optimal N-fixation”

On the farm of Klemens, Markus and Agnes Schmeink catch crops have always been used in order to build up soil organic matter and to prevent erosion. The pilot project of the agricultural department of North-Rhine Westphalia for the water framework directive also puts a focus on efficient nitrogen usage.

Where to grow (which) early varieties?

Maize has comparatively low expectations in respect to soil and nutrient requirements but a relatively high temperature requirement. It only reaches crop maturity at harvest date if corresponding crop heat units and day time length demands are fulfilled. Maize product manager Henrike Wulfmeyer thinks that therefore in some regions only early varieties should be grown.

Hybrid rye: Are ergot classifications realistic?

When choosing a variety, the classification of rye varieties by the Bundessortenamt (Federal Plant Variety Office) in terms of ergot susceptibility is often an important decision criteria. But how realistic are those classifications? Results from federal state variety trials in Germany and Poland give doubts to product manager Daniel Husmann.

Healthy and happier pigs due to fibre?

In human nutrition it is often discussed that a wholesome and fibre-rich diet containing a good mixture of our natural dietary diversity is the best way to stay healthy and feel well. Does it also apply to pigs? An article by Dr. Wilke Griep.

When and how does tillage make sense?

Catch crop growers with long-term experience know when mechanical tillage of catch crops is required or, if necessary, how can it be avoided. Greening specifications and the newly added catch crop varieties, however, call for us to consider this topic once again.

Sustainable intensification and the new German Fertiliser Ordinance DüV: Do they fit together?

Can Germany meet the requirements for “sustainable intensification” and is a positive development slowed down or promoted by the new fertilisation ordinance? Prof. Friedhelm Taube, Christian-Albrechts-Universität Kiel, makes a critical appraisal.

What determines the nitrogen requirement in wheat?

With an increasingly limited N-supply, the grain protein performance becomes an important efficiency parameter. To what extent is the N-processing efficiency for winter wheat determined by the cultivation conditions, the variety and its quality classification?

Maintaining soil fertility despite intensive forage maize production?

Whoever practices an intense forage maize crop rotation has to keep an eye on humus content, soil structure, erosion and nitrogen output. However, it is still possible with an intensive maize rotation to achieve a healthy soil and a good nutrient balance.

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.

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.

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.
