We work with the vision that it possible to reduce herbicide use and completely abandon glyphosate in reduced and no-till systems by promoting soil health and crop vigour through a diverse crop rotation, cover crops and mechanical weed control. In field experiments, we compare innovative glyphosate free reduced and no-till systems where we also use little or no herbicides with a system where tillage, glyphosate and other herbicides are used according to best common practice. The experiments will be conducted in Skåne and Uppland and consist of a six year rotation managed according to four different protocols. The experiments will start in year one and four of the rotations in separate main plots in a split-plot design to be able to investigate all six crops during the three-year project period and in the long term to be able to separate the effect of management from the effect of annual conditions.
Vi arbetar med visionen att det är möjligt att minska herbicidanvändningen och helt överge glyfosat i odlingssystem med reducerad eller ingen bearbetning genom att utnyttja diversifierad växtföljd, mellangrödor och mekanisk jord ogräskontroll för att förbättra bördigheten och grödornas sundhet. I fältexperiment jämför vi innovativa glyfosatfria odlingssystem med reducerad eller ingen bearbetning där vi bara använder lite eller inga herbicider, med ett system där earbetning, herbicider och glyfosat används efter bästa nuvarande rekommendationer. Experimenten kommer att genomföras i Uppland och Skåne och estå av en sexårig växtföljd som sköts enligt fyra olika anvisningar. Experimenten kommer att starta år ett och fyra i separata storrutor i en split-plot design för att kunna undersöka alla sex grödorna under projektets treåriga löptid och för att på lång sikt kunna skilja effekten av skötseln från effekten av årsmånen.

Brachyspira pilosicoli causes spirochetal diarrhea resulting in reduced growth and great economic losses in pig herds. The disease is treated with antibiotics but today we see an increased incidence of antibiotic resistance in the bacteria, which may lead to difficulties to treat the disease in the …

Slippery floors results in falls and injuries which can be fatal. Moreover, on dairy farms slippery floors impede oestrus behaviour and ease of heat detection and as result cause economical losses due to impaired fertility. Grooving is the most common way to treat concrete floors to reduce …
