Ökonomische Auswirkungen der Integration einer Biogasanlage in ein ökologisches Marktfruchtbausystem

Summary

In 2009/10 a field experiment was established at the experimental station Viehhausen to analyze the effects of different farming systems to yield and soil properties. Two of these are organic cash crop systems. A biogas plant is integrated in one of these – called biogas system. The analysis regarding to the economic effects of the biogas plant from the years 2010-2013 show an improvement of the economic results for the biogas system. The reasons are higher cash crop yields because of the manuring with digestate and the profit of the biogas plant.
