Auswirkungen von Trockenheit auf die Flächenproduktivität unterschiedlicher Standorte Norddeutschlands 2004 - 2014

Summary in the original language of the document

During the last 10 years the productivity of grassland and forage crop land has been recorded on 70 Organic Dairy Farms. An average yield of 32162 MJ NEL/ha has been achieved (netto yield measured by intake of the cow). The spring dryness of the last years, as expected, has affected the different sites quite differently: (measured by intake of the cow). Sandy soils have been particularly affected (except moist sites).
Peat soils, partly marshy soils and in general moist sites could profit from moderate dryness.
