Inter-row hoeing is an interesting alternative for weed control in organic and also in conventional agriculture for decreased use of herbicides. In an on-going project financed by SLF, “Climate robust cropping systems with inter-row hoeing against perennial and annual weeds in cereals” (SLF …

The aim of the study is to investigate if treatment of calf pens with slaked lime will prevent spread of C. parvum and improve the calf health in herds with C. parvum associated diarrhea problems. Diarrhea is common in young dairy calves in Sweden and is often caused by C. parvum. The parasite is …

Plant establishment is very critical for spring oilseed rape, especially under dry conditions on clay soils. With conventional tillage, the soil drying process in the spring gives little plant available water in the seedbed for small-grained seeds with shallow sowing depth. Alternatively, soil …

Today's large and heavy equipment causes soil compaction, which can be minimized by concentrating all traffic to specific locations in the field. The concept is called Controlled Traffic Farming (CTF). Today there is also a strong trend to reduce the cultivation intensity. CTF reduces the need for …

The aim of this study is to evaluate if local treatment with penicillin of interdigital phlegmon in dairy cows is as efficient as intramuscular treatment with penicillin. Interdigital phlegmona is a common disease in dairy cows. The standard treatment is often intramuscular injection with …

Equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) is a commonly recognized condition in horses. EMS is characterized by obesity, insulin resistance (IR), increased risk for laminitis as well as abnormalities in glucose and fat metabolism.

The purpose of the study is to determine abnormalities in the intracellular …

Storage diseases, which are caused by different fungi species, decrease the profitability of the Swedish fruit production. New methods are needed to transform the production into organic cultivation. The aim of this project is therefore to develop new strategies of controlling the pathogens in …

Research with multiple cropping systems in parallel increases the potential for knowledge transfer from organic to conventional systems, and vice versa. In this project, whose aim is to develop cropping systems towards greater sustainability, we work on long-term trials that have a unique …
