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.
