Management Options for Organic Winter Wheat Production under Climate Change
An effective adaptive strategy for reducing climate change risks and increasing agro-system resiliency is broadening cropping system diversity, heightening the flexibility of cultivation and tillage methods. Climate chan...
100% Organic Poultry Feed: Can Algae Replace Soybean Expeller in Organic Broiler Diets?
Current EU regulations allow 5% of feed for organic poultry to come from non-organic production. This is due to concerns about a 100% organic diet meeting the requirements for specific amino acids such as methionine. Thi...
Tillage System Comparison in Organic Farming: Effects on N Mineralization, Soil Microbial Biomass, and Yield
The nitrogen supply can be a yield-limiting factor in organic farming, especially when reduced tillage is applied. An organic field experiment was conducted from 2007 to 2013 to analyse the potential of the nitrogen supp...
