Gute Chancen für den Öko-Sojaanbau in Deutschland

Summary

From 2011 to 2013 a total of 35 different soybean cultivars were tested in organically managed replicated trials under a wide range of pedo-climatic conditions in Germany. The resulting yields were affected by the climatic region, soybean maturity group, water availability during grain filling and soybean cultivar. From our results we can conclude that with current cultivars a successful soybean cropping in most parts of Germany is possible. Only in the cooler regions of northern Germany and in the uplands yields are usually not competitive with other crops.
