Brennfleckenkrankheit bei Malven
Full text linkDer Anbau von Malven (Malva sylvestris) als Heil- und Gewürzpflanze spielt in der Schweiz eine wichtige Rolle. Sowohl die Blätter als auch die Blüten sind reich an Schleimstoffen, die sich bei der Behandlung von zahlreichen Krankheiten wie Erkältungen oder Rachenentzündungen, bewährt haben. Aber auch die Pflanze selbst ist anfällig für Krankheiten. 2024 kam es zu Ernteausfällen aufgrund der Brennfleckenkrankheit, ausgelöst durch den Pilz Colletotrichum malvarum
FiBL Gemüsebau-Newsletter 04/25
No full textDer Frühling hat ja in den letzten Wochen so richtig Einzug gehalten: mit warmen, sonnigen Tagen, aber doch vielerorts noch Bodenfrost durch die Nacht! Wir melden uns in dieser April-Ausgabe des Newsletters mit neuen Themen aus dem Biogemüsebau. Dieses Mal stellen wir die aktualisierten Pflanzenschutzempfehlungen für den Biogemüsebau vor. Das Merkblatt umfasst detaillierte Informationen über die wichtigsten Schaderreger und Pflanzenkrankheiten, deren Merkmale sowie gezielte Massnahmen vor und nach der Aussaat und bei Befall. Die Ausgabe 2025 enthält umfassende Strategien für neunzehn Kulturgruppen, darunter Tomaten, Lauch, Karotten und erstmals auch Basilikum. Weitere Themen sind:
• Einsatz von Kulturschutznetzen
• Falsches Saatbett
• Aktuelles zum Jordanviru
Zucker im Raufutter: Gesundheitliche Risiken für Pferde und Esel
No full textDer Zuckergehalt im Raufutter kann für Pferde und Esel gesundheitliche Folgen haben, denn die Tiere reagieren empfindlich auf einen hohen Gehalt an leicht verdaulichen Kohlenhydraten. Durch gezielte Fütterung kann Krankheiten vorgebeugt werden, deshalb ist das Wissen um den Zuckergehalt im Raufutter wichtig. Das FiBL bietet Raufutteranalysen für die Pferdefütterung an
Adding forbs and legumes to a grass-clover mixture suppressed weeds and maintained herbage yield and crude protein content across slurry application rates
Full text linkGrassland leys are valuable for improving the performance of agricultural production systems. Multispecies mixtures have been proposed as a means of improving yields and reducing weed pressure in temporary grasslands, but the effect is influenced by both the length of the grass phase and fertilization. Based on a long-term organic dairy crop rotation experiment with four years of grass-clover in a six-course rotation, we tested the benefits of multispecies grassland leys (3- or 12-species) on herbage yield, crude protein content and weed suppression in one- to four-year-old leys with different cattle slurry inputs (0–300 kg total-N ha−1) over two years. Herbage yield and crude protein content were maintained as species diversity was increased, but the proportion of weeds was reduced. Weed suppression was most pronounced in the four-year-old swards, where a reduction from 18.5 % to 11.0 % was observed. Irrespective of the mixture, increasing the slurry application rate increased herbage yield, reduced the proportion of legumes and increased the proportion of grasses. The proportion of forbs in the 12-species mixture remained stable across N rates. The most abundant additional species in the 12-species mixture were plantain, chicory, caraway, and for longer leys, lucerne. Nevertheless, ryegrass and white clover accounted for 54–84 % of the herbage yield in the 12-species mixtures across the combinations of year, N rate and sward age. This indicates that establishing very diverse mixtures in productive grassland leys for cutting may be challenging and highlights the need for studies focusing on increasing the evenness of diverse mixtures

An innovative production system producing three different sustainable beef products from offspring of the organic dairy sector – productivity and climate impact of beef aiming at replacing quantity with quality.
No full textIn this study we propose an innovative organic beef production system that offers a diversity of beef products, based on offspring from dairy cows, and with the aim to score high on animal welfare, meat quality, consumer satisfaction, and biodiversity. Furthermore, the aim was to obtain a high level of meat quality, and a storytelling of a system addressing “less is more”, which is supposed to facilitate healthier eating i.e., a lower intake of high-quality beef. The system was based on steers and includes calf rearing by a foster cow, use of low energy density roughage during winter, and extensive pasture for weaned steers. The system considers variation in growth capacity by slaughtering 1/3 of the best performing calves at 8 months as rosé veal (A), another 1/3 at 16 months as young beef (B; medium performing), and the last 1/3 at 26 months as mature beef (C; lowest performing)
Grain Yield and Protein Content of Pea-Barley Mixtures and Pure Crops: A Subset from the PROMISE Project
No full textThis dataset is part of the database compiled as an outcome of Work Area 1 in project OrganicYieldsUP. Variable definitions can be found here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15276082
This dataset is a subset of the PROMISE (Sustainable protein supply with species mixtures in Switzerland) project and focuses on grain yield and protein content of pea (Pisum sativum L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivated in both pure and mixed cropping systems. Data were collected across two field sites in Switzerland over several growing seasons, representing diverse environmental conditions. The sub-dataset captures the performance of different pea ideotypes in terms of productivity and protein content, key indicators for the viability of legume-based cropping systems. By isolating yield and protein data, this subset provides a focused resource for analysing the agronomic potential and trade-offs of mixed versus pure cropping, with relevance for breeding, management, and fostering plant-based protein production. This dataset supports research into sustainable legume intensification strategies and the optimisation of crop mixtures to enhance food security and soil fertility in organic farming systems

Yields and field management data from 13 organic farms in Germany
No full textThe datafile contains yields and field management data of 526 arable fields from 13 organic farms in Germany in different soil climate regions between 2008 and 2017. The data were collected in farms that have been managed organically for more than 10 years. The farms were located in the German federal states Bavaria, Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, North Rhine-Westphalia and Schleswig-Holstein. The data are based on field and farm records of the farmers and were verified by plausibilitiy checks, e.g., via nutrient and mass balances.
