Long term comparison studies of biodynamic and conventional cotton-based farming systems

Summary

Background
Long-term studies in the tropics have not been assessed in a systematic manner in comparison to temperate regions. To fill this gap, SysCom Long Term Experiment (LTE) project was started in the tropics in 2007. LTE is similar to the DOK trial. It provides solid agronomic and socio-economic data on the performance of major agriculture production systems in a long-term scope.
Aim
The SysCom LTE project aims to establish a scientific basis for discussions on the performance and potential of four different management systems in tropical countries to a rational level.
