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 diseases. Since 2018 'Farming in Balance' together
with agricultural stakeholders is running a project named SamZon, where farmers seed and manage multifunctional
buffer zones to e.g. support pollinators and natural enemies. Our aim in this project is to (1) scientifically evaluate these
zones, but also in a new field experiment identify the best flowering resource plants which support (2) natural enemies and
pollinators without enhancing pests and diseases, and (3) a healthy soil community without enhancing pathogens. The
goal is to optimize these buffer zones through the choice of plants and thereby making them an economically sustainable
option for farmers.
Att så in blommor för att stödja nyttoinsekter är en lovande växtskyddsmetod inom svensk jordbruks- och
trädgårdsproduktion. Metoden har dock inte fått stort genomslag till följd av begränsad ekonomisk nytta och risk för
uppförökning av skadeinsekter och sjukdomar. Sedan 2018 bedriver Odling i balans tillsammans med ett antal i
lantbruksbranschen projektet SamZon där lantbrukare har sått och skött multifunktionella skyddszoner, s.k. samzoner,
för att bl.a. främja pollinerare och naturliga fiender. Syftet med det förslagna projektet är att (1) vetenskapligt utvärdera
de befintliga samzonerna, men också att i fältförsök identifiera vilka som är de bästa blommande växterna som stödjer
(2) naturliga fiender och pollinerare, utan att gynna skadegörare och sjukdomar, och (3) ett rikt liv i jorden, utan att
gynna växtskadliga organismer. Det övergripande målet med projektet är att optimera zonerna genom valet av
blomväxter och så att de blir ett ekonomiskt hållbart alternativ för lantbrukare.

This application aims at finding a solution to a problem that exists in greenhouse production. Greenhouses have long been considered to be closed systems with no leakage to the surrounding environment. However, it has been shown that plant protection products (PPP) are found in the environment …

This project is about refining grass to meet a demand for proteins for, above all, organic poultry production and an expected increased demand for soy-free feed solutions for monogastric animals. Forage-based products also improve the economic preconditions to increase the proportion of grass in …

The purpose of the project is to produce reliable emission factors for storage of poultry manure regarding methane and nitrous oxide emissions.
This project will focus on methane and nitrous oxide emissions from laying hens and the project is a supplement to an FoU project funded by the Swedish …

Zinkoxid (ZnO) in feed prevents post weaning diarrhoea (PWD) and mortality in weaned piglets but, for environmental reasons, ZnO will be banned in the EU in 2022 despite that there remain herds that are dependent on the use of ZnO (or antibiotics) at weaning.
By metagenomic analysis (sequencing …

This interdisciplinary project examines how Swedish dairy farmers, given different types of policy instruments, are affected by the ongoing structural transformation in the primary production. The study will improve our understanding about how the ongoing structural change affects profitability in …

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 …

According to applicable legislation, manure and digestate must be sanitized in order to prevent disease transmission before they may be merchandised on the open market. Swedish plants currently have the choice between using one of two standard methods (70 °C for 1 h, or 52 °C for 10 h), or carry …

The rollback of insecticides exposes Swedish horticulture to a multitude of pests. Targeted and sustainable innovations are sorely needed. Here we target several pests of fruits, onion, cabbage, beans and salad and aim to develop 1) species-selective lures using a novel olfactomics platform, 2) use …
