Agriculture in plain-lands is often specialized in crop production, with no on-farm use of ley as animal fodder, and crop rotations that often includes only annual crops (e.g. oilseed rape, cereals and sugar beets). At the same time, integrating ley in arable cropping systems generates several benefits, e.g. improved soil carbon balance and soil fertility, reduced weed abundance and inputs of biologically fixed nitrogen. Selling the biomass for fodder or biogas substrate, in combination with extraction of protein in a biorifenery concept (where the protein can be used both for human food and animal feed), can facilitate innovative uses of ley biomass. To realize such ideas, it is important to investigate drivers and obstacles in farmers’ perspectives. This project will analyze farmers’ experiences and views on possibilities for innovative use of ley biomass, thereby stimulating actions for increased cultivation of ley in arable cropping systems and enhanced overall sustainability.
Lantbruk i slättbygd är ofta specialiserad på växtproduktion, utan egen användning av vallfoder, vilket betyder att växtföljden ofta består av enbart ettåriga grödor (t.ex. höstraps, höstvete, sockerbetor och vårkorn). Samtidigt det välkänt att det finns många nyttor med att inkludera vall i sådana växtföljder, exempelvis förbättrad markkolsbalans och markbördighet, minskad förekomst av ogräs och tillskott av biologiskt fixerat kväve. Avsalu till foder eller biogassubstrat, kombinerat med att man utvinner protein (som kan bli både humanföda och proteinfoder) i så kallade bioraffinaderier, möjliggör innovativ avsättning av vallbiomassa. För att sådana idéer ska bli verklighet är det angeläget att utforska drivkrafter och hinder i lantbrukares perspektiv. Detta projekt ska kartlägga odlarerfarenheter och förutsättningar för innovativ avsättning av vallbiomassa, och därigenom identifiera åtgärder för ökad vallodling på slätten i synergi med klimatnytta och lönsam växtproduktion.

Cereal production is limited by many different factors. Leaf diseases are often well known, while diseases on roots are more difficult to identify. Root diseases are often caused by oomycetes, fungus-like microorganisms that live for years in soil and on old root debris, parasitizing the roots of …

A sustainable use of phosphorus fertilizers has engaged a large number of researchers, especially how to measure
the soil content of available phosphorus. However, the development of results to useful methods for agriculture has
not been a priority. The recommendations are based on extraction with …

The carbon footprint for ruminants is high compared to other food products of animal origin but grazing animals such
as beef and lamb have other positive effects on the environment such as increased biodiversity and carbon
sequestration. Beef- and lamb producers need clear guidelines on how to …
