Project
Blood, hair, feathers, horn, and bone meal are readily available raw materials for organic commercial fertilizers to supplement the nutrient requirements of organic vegetable cultivation.
Project
The main objective of this project is to continue, further improve and expand the service for pest monitoring and alerts specifically for organic vegetable growers. This includes:
Project
The goal of this project is to master the cultivation techniques for both sunflowers as a main crop and sunflowers as a secondary crop following winter cereals. Additionally, we aim to gain insights into the yield and feed value potential under our climatic conditions.
Project
The sudden emergence of black dots, occurring around three weeks before harvest on the apple variety Natyra® worries organic growers and researchers. This year at harvest spots were bigger and we also saw comparative symptoms on other varieties such as Topaz, Rewena and Wurthwinning.
Project
Poultry Red Mite (PRM) is the most damaging ectoparasite in poultry. According to estimates, over 90% of Belgian layer farms are infested. But the presence of PRM is not only limited to commercial layer farms: the parasite is ubiquitous in Europe.
Project
Berry sawfly (Nematus ribesii) is a permanent problem in organic (goose) berry growers. The greedy larvae (bastard caterpillar) can eat all leaves in a very short period of time. As a result, the plant weakens and production loss can occur.
Project
The EU has set a target of reaching at least 25% organic farmland by 2030, which requires a tripling of the current organic area and the entry of 700,000 new farmers into the organic sector.
Project
In mechanical weed control, we typically think of spring and summer. However, there are many weeds that grow almost year-round. Chickweed and annual meadow grass are a couple of examples.
Project
Sustainable crop protection relies primarily on prevention and natural enemies for a natural biocontrol.
Project
This project focuses on organic growers of vegetables and/or flowers who use tunnels to extend their growing season and to bring them in the possibility to start selling earlier. The increased temperature and protection against frost create an ideal environment for aphids to reproduce rapidly.
Project
An certain amount of short chain companies have a small-scale branch of pig farming in addition to their main branch with vegetable cultivation. These companies are interested in the rotation of pigs on their plots in order to create more circularity.
Project
The target group of this project are organic dairy farmers. In organic dairy farming, it remains a challenge to get more protein from our own crops.
Project
Phytophthora spp. forms a significant challenge in organic cultivation of raspberries leading to significant economic losses.
Project
The incentive for this project proposal is the recent increased problem of fruit infesting caterpillars in organic pome fruit orchards.
Project
The aim of this project is to investigate how we can reduce the problems with powdery mildew in organic cucumber greenhouse cultivation in an economically responsible way. We want to:
Project
BOWIE aims to address the knowledge gap on ammonia emissions in naturally ventilated pig and poultry barns with outdoor access, and to provide solutions for ammonia emission reduction on organic farms that are ideally widely a
Project
Making open-air vegetable growing more sustainable in Flanders, both for the growers and for society. That is the starting point of the GROUND2LIVE project.
