Climate projections for Sweden indicate higher temperatures during summer and larger variability in precipitation between years. This poses enormous challenges for Swedish agriculture. The main aim of this project is to investigate relationships between soil management, soil quality and crop yield. We will gather 60-70 farmers in Västergötland and Östergötland and i) perform quantitative surveys and interviews to identify perceived risks, adaption measures and knowledge gaps for securing stable crop production in a changing climate, and ii) measure soil quality on 60-70 farm fields and collect long-term data on soil management, yield and weather to quantify relationships between soil management, soil quality, crop productivity and yield stability. Our hypothesis is that good soil quality improves yield stability, and that a more diverse (e.g. diverse crop rotation) and less intense (e.g. low tillage intensity) soil management improves soil quality.
Klimatprojektioner för Sverige visar högre temperaturer under sommaren och större variationer i nederbörd mellan år. Detta kommer att medföra enorma utmaningar för svenskt jordbruk. Projektets huvudsyfte är att belysa samband mellan brukningsmetoder, markkvalité och skörd. För att studera dessa samband samlar vi 60-70 lantbrukare i Västergötland och Östergötland och gör enkätundersökningar och intervjuer för att identifiera risker, åtgärder och kunskapsluckor för att säkra en stabil växtproduktion i ett förändrat klimat, samt mäter markens kvalité på 60-70 fält och samlar in flera års data om brukningsmetoder, skörd och väderlek för att kvantifiera samband mellan brukningsmetoder, markkvalité och skörd (skördenivå och skördestabilitet). Vår hypotes är att en god markkvalité förbättrar skördestabiliteten och att ett mera diversifierat (t.ex. varierad växtföljd) och mindre intensivt (t.ex. mindre jordbearbetning) brukningssystem främjar markens kvalité.

About 200 dairy farms in Sweden use recycled manure solids (RMS) as bedding material and the number is increasing. Advantages is low price, reliable availability and good cow comfort. The main disadvantage is the risk of increased bacterial growth on the lying area affecting especially udder health …

The project aims are to use the information about cow's DNA profile to estimate the severity of fertility problems caused by specific genetic defects in the Swedish Red (SRB) and Holstein dairy breeds, and to estimate the economic impact of pregnancy losses caused by these genetic defects. Our goal …

Every year, about 500,000 claw trimmings are recorded in Swedish dairy cattle. The aim of claw trimming is to detect, treat and prevent painful claw lesions. However, the claw trimming in itself can be harmful and cause claw lesions if it is not done correctly. The aim of the project is to develop …

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 …

Climate change has brought about changing conditions for agriculture. In recent years precipitation deficit during the growing season has led to a shortage of forage in Sweden. During dry years, irrigation is necessary to achieve optimal yields. In addition, irrigation can bring about positive …

Adding flowers to the cropping system that support beneficial insects is a promising option to achieve crop protection
in Swedish agriculture and horticulture. However, the wide-spread adoption of this approach has been hampered by
limited economic benefit and the risk of propagating pests and …
