Former Projects

• 2019-2022: Project "Enhancing productivity and nutrient efficiency in organic crop production by irrigation management" (BOELN). The Division Agronomy will perform field experiments comparing irrigated and rainfed spring wheat, spring beans and red clover on organic fields at Deppoldshausen near Göttingen. The site is characterized by shallow soils with low water holding capacity so that drought occurs frequently. In addition, the group is reponsible for the quantification of the symbiotic nitrogen fixation in red clover and beans.
