Agricultural Management
How can agronomic measures improve the metabolic rate in the soil and the availability of nutrients for the plant roots?
Soil & Resource Efficient Production
Organic fertilizer (manure, slurry, green manure) and diverse crop rotations with a high proportion of legumes stimulate soil biological activity and material fluxes. In addition, a balanced pH regime is important as well as soil coverage throughout the year. A deep, widely branched pore system is important to provide a large surface area for biological metabolic processes.
