Small squares instead of large fields: Together with a real farm, a research team is testing
an unusual cropping system in the patchCROP landscape laboratory. // ZALF researchers are developing agricultural strategies to explicitly promote valuable ecosystem services like fertile soils and clean drinking water. // Striving for a resource-efficient agriculture without yield losses, more and more farmers are implementing measures of sustainable intensification on their farms. // Using precision farming to detect pest outbreaks and predict climate change effects: artificial intelligence holds great potential for agriculture.

Patchcrop Patchcrop MORE DIVERSITY IN THE FIELD In the »patchCROP« landscape laboratory, researchers and farmers are jointly testing a vision of the future. Instead of just one crop, up to nine crops are grown side by side in the field — exactly where they find optimal site conditions. Current management The simultaneous cultivation of several crops in a single field reduces the risk of major crop failures during extreme weather events. The cultivation system under investigation also ensures that the soil is covered year-round which protects it from being eroded and degraded. Flower strips create additional habitats for insects, birds or wild herbs.
