Project
To manage pests on your farm, as a grower, you need to know which types of pests occur and how they develop throughout the year. Additionally, you require knowledge about possible control measures and when it is best to apply them. Pest alerts can assist growers in this regard.
Project
Various organic arable and vegetable farms are incorporating grass-clover into their cultivation plans.
Project
Mixed crops (cereals in combination with leguminous plants) are becoming increasingly important in organic livestock farming. Although the cultivation is already fairly established, we still see a high variability in the yields of peas and faba beans within mixed cultivation.
Project
There was a need for a well-organized cultivation calendar with which growers can schedule their production, given the wide variety of plants used in the organic flower production, to achieve continuous flower sales.
Project
In recent years, we have seen more and more changes in our climate. Mild winters lead to earlier sprouting of raspberries. We are often surprised by a period of frost later in spring. In the summer, on the other hand, we encounter long periods of high temperatures > 30°C.
Project
The new EU regulation concerning organic production, emphasizes maintaining and increasing biological activity in the soil. Specifically for greenhouses, the use of green manures (for a short period) and higher plant diversity are imposed.
Project
The project explored the potential of insect meal and whey protein as alternative protein sources for organic laying hen feed.
Project
The study "Natural milk powder for rearing in organic goat farming" explores the use of organic goat and cow milk powder as an alternative to artificial milk containing synthetic vitamins, necessitated by new EU regulations.
Project
Through the signing of the Covenant on Enteric Emissions for Cattle by the Flemish Government and by various partners from the agri-food chain, the commitment was made to achieve a reduction of 0.44 MT CO2-eq in enteric emissi
Project
Warning systems are an essential component for optimal integrated crop protection. In outdoor vegetable cultivation, we have been using warning systems for various pests and diseases for over 20 years.
Project
What benefits and additional stability can be gained from strip cropping, especially in protein crops? This research question in the LEG-O project brings knowledge for the slowly increasing cultivation of local Flemish protein crops.
Project
The overall goal of this project is to ensure that Flemish hop growers are no longer dependent on foreign hop varieties, but have their own new hop varieties that are more disease tolerant, have better aromas for the breweries and are more resistant to the changing climate condi
Project
Scab fungi, including Venturia pirina, belong to one of the key parasites in fruit cultivation. When no control measures are implemented, the pathogen can cause complete damage to the harvest in favorable weather conditions.
Project
Biologische landbouw scoort algemeen significant beter inzake nitraatstikstofresidu dan de gangbare teelt. Om deze reden wordt de biologische landbouwmethode in MAP 6+ en/of MAP 7 wellicht erkend als ‘duurzame teeltpraktijk’.
Project
In the context of the PAS (Programmatic Approach to Nitrogen), Flemish livestock farming will have to make major efforts in the coming years to reduce its ammonia emissions.
Project
The past decades have been characterized by biodiversity and insect diversity loss. The conversion of valuable habitats to areas intended for intensive food production makes agriculture one of the main causes of these losses.
Project
The scab fungus, Venturia pirina, is among the key parasites in pear cultivation and in both integrated (IPM) and organic cultivation.
Project
In recent years, we have seen a serious increase in the pest pressure and damage of aphids and cabbage whitefly, partly due to increasing drought. The removal of some important crop protection products will only aggravate these problems.
Project
In this project, two innovations for in-row weed control will be built, optimised and tested: inrow hoeing on RTK-GPS and abrasive weeding. With this we want to improve in-row weed control and make it more climate-robust in wet periods. They will be compared with the existing techniques.
Project
There is growing interest in the local cultivation of baking wheat. Winter wheat has a wider seeding window than spring wheat and higher yield potential. Depending on the buyer, baking wheat requires a protein content of at least 11.5-12 % and a sedimentation value of at least 30-35 ml.
