Betriebswirtschaftlicher Vergleich des Mischfruchtanbaus von Soja und Leindotter mit dem Reinanbau von Soja

Summary

Soybean production in organic farming is characterized by widely fluctuating yields,which increase the risk for farmers. One approach to counteract this is a mixed cropping system of soybean and camelina. A two-year on-farm experiment showed,
that the labour- and directcosts free output for wide yield range of soya is higher in mixed cropping compared to soya monoculture. In seasons with a low soybean yield mixed cultivation can be more effective due to the compensation benefit of camelina.
