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.

Respiratory disease is a major problem in pig production worldwide causing mortalities and impaired growth with reduced welfare and economic losses. There is increasing evidence that respiratory disease is not always linked to single pathogens but multifactorial, referred to as the porcine …

A high rate of on-farm deaths and euthanized cows is an indication of poor animal welfare, leads to economic losses for farmers and is not compatible with sustainable food production. The mortality rate of Swedish dairy cows is high from an international perspective and efforts are needed to …

The project aims to study the long-term effect of structure liming, and to test if minimum tillage can prolong the duration of this effect. The hypothesis is that structure liming effects diminish over time, but by minimizing soil tillage we can prolong this effect. Studies will be performed in six …

Soil organic carbon is an important factor for soil health and productivity. Soil carbon sequestration (SCS) also plays a crucial role in meeting the climate goals. For that purpose, catch- and cover crops are identified as a cost-effective management practice that combines SCS with other ecosystem …

SLU has developed an innovative technology that converts human urine to high-quality solid fertiliser. On Gotland, SLU and Gotlands Bryggeri have also shown that urine can effectively fertilise barley, which can be processed further to make beer. Over the next few years, SLU and the Bryggeri need …

The risk of soil compaction is high in Sweden, as soils are often wet during field operations and because heavy machinery is used. The predicted increase in precipitation and increase of extreme weather events with heavy rainfall will potentially increase this risk, indicating a need for a reliable …

An improved strategy for agricultural drainage is important for both economic and environmental reasons. There are indications on environmental benefits of a good drainage but lack of studies that directly shows this. The aim of the project is to develop a basis for design recommendations for new …
