During recent decades the area with brushwood has increased in the Swedish rural landscape. A study has shown that the annual harvest of brushwood for fuel purposes could amount to about 6 TWh. Some advantages with the utilization of brushwood as fuel are that the growth areas do not compete with areas for food production, that the harvest will result in a more open landscape favoring biodiversity, and that the net energy yield is high. The purpose of this project is to develop a decision basis for farmers and fuel suppliers for profitable supply of brushwood chips. A dynamic simulation model will be used to simulate the harvest and handling operations at different types of stands (with regard to e.g. plant density and diameter at breast height) in different growth area categories, e.g. field edges, grasslands and road verges. The total costs, from stand to heating plant, will be calculated for different types of machinery by using the performance data from the model.
Under de senaste decennierna har landskapet i Sverige blivit alltmer igenväxt. Det finns beräkningar som visar att de möjliga uttagen av sly är ca 6 TWh per år. Några fördelar med sly som biobränsle är att arealerna inte konkurerrar med mark för matproduktion, att en väl avvägd slyskörd ger ett mer öppet och varierat landskap som gynnar den biologiska mångfalden, och att energiutbytet är högt. Syftet med detta projekt är att ta fram ett beslutsunderlag för lantbrukare, bränsleleverantörer, m.fl. för lönsam produktion av bränsleflis från sly. I projektet kommer en dynamisk simuleringsmodell att användas för att simulera skörd och hantering för olika typer av slybestånd (bl.a. med avseende på täthet och brösthöjdsdiameter) i olika s.k. områdeskategorier, bl.a. , åkermarkskanter, betesmarker och vägkanter. Kostnaderna beräknas sedan med hjälp av de prestandadata som modellen ger. Olika maskintyper och olika maskinkedjor, från slybestånd till värmeverk, kommer att jämföras.

Peat use in horticulture is increasingly discussed due to its climate-relevance and the disturbance of mires. At the
same time, peat is the most important, natural horticultural growing media constituent and only a few other organic
constituents have gained acceptance in horticulture, but cannot …

The aim of the project is to develop tools which can be used for individually adapted lactation lengths based on the biological conditions of the cow. Today a one year calving interval and a short lactation period, is recommended. The recommendations are based on 30 years old information and do not …

Swedish strawberry production suffers from several severe insect pests. When usage of traditional insecticides is phased out and IPM implemented novel green methods for pest control are urgently needed. The strawberry tortricid, Acleris comariana, is a severe pest on strawberries. Its larvae feed …

Conventional technology is virtually unable to measure complete GHG budgets of drained organic soils, which may provide misleading results. So, global estimates of GHG emissions are based on coarse assumptions that don’t take into account the complexity of agroecosystems. Better data are needed for …

Insufficient crop protection is an increasingly limiting factor for crop production. Damage by slugs and cabbage stem flea beetles in winter oilseed rape are timely examples of increasing crop protection problems in Sweden. We will test whether companion cropping winter oilseed rape with frost …
