Treibhausgasflüsse induziert durch differenzierte Bodenbearbeitung und Düngung in einer Kleegras – Umbruch – Winterweizen Sequenz unter Biobedingungen

Summary

Reduced tillage is technically a challenging task in organic arable farming due to weeds but also concerning the destruction of grass-clover leys. It changes the stratification of organic matter within soils which might lead to more compacted, less aerated soils and thus to higher greenhouse gas emissions. There are hardly any data existing assessing organic reduced tillage systems. Nitrous oxide and methane fluxes were therefore monitored in a two-year period including a grass-clover ley, its destruction and winter wheat. Results are presented.
