Project closed

Start date 1 December 1993

End date 30 November 1996

Funded under

• Specific research and technological development and demonstration programme (EEC) in the field of agriculture and agro-industry, including fisheries, 1990-1994

Total cost € 2 800 000,00

EU contribution € 1 400 000,00

Coordinated by

Landesanstalt für Pflanzenschutz Stuttgart
Germany

Objective

The project investigates as integrated farming systems (IFS). It will improve technical and nutritional product quality using non-inversion tillage, reduced herbicide and fertilizer usage. A prototype machine will be tested to achieve better inversion tillage and crop establishment. Combinations of organic manures and green crops will be used to reduce fertilizer inputs and soil leaching. The impact on the agro-ecosystem will be assessed.
