Brief Description:
Sufficient high-quality food and biomass supplies, increasingly produced environmentally friendly, is a high-priority sociopolitical concern. The use of chemical synthetic plant protection products (csPPP) is increasingly criticized for residues in food products and the environment as well as for endangering biodiversity.
With Agriculture 4.0 this production could follow biological principles using state-of-the-art cross-linked technologies while abandoning csPPP. At the same time, the use of mineral fertilizers should ensure soil fertility for assuring the (required) high biomass yields. This approach represents a complete reorientation in agricultural production and requires diligent research from all perspectives and at all scales.

The aim of the joint research project involving the University of Hohenheim (UHOH), the Georg-August-University Goettingen (UGOE) and the Julius Kühn-Institute (JKI) is to develop an innovative agricultural system and to analyze opportunities and effects of this change on individual regions as well as on field, farm and regional level.
CP14: Quality of harvest products in NOcsPS cropping systems
In a nutshell
What?
We compare the quality of wheat and soybean between NOcsPS, conventional and organic farming systems.
Why?
Before NOcsPS can be widely used, it must be guaranteed that this farming system can consistently yield high product quality capable of competing with conventional and organic farming.
How?
We conduct two field trials to collect important quality data such as grain protein content and composition, baking quality, fungal toxins, and pesticide residues. In addition, because the harmful fungi, including Fusarium, Septoria, and yellow rust, presumably occur more often in the NOcsPS farming, their effect on wheat quality will be studied in container trials.
