Researchers from Aarhus University are using a long-term field experiment to investigate what happens to the soil physical properties when the fields are converted from arable or bare fallow management to grassland or vice versa to find out if and how quickly a restoration or degradation of the soil organic carbon content, structural stability,…

Researchers from Aarhus University have together with SEGES developed a risk model for septoria tritici blotch in wheat to support farmer's decisions about when fungicides are needed. The researchers, in collaboration with different Nordic and Baltic partners have tested the validity of two risk models.

The mineralisation of cover crops releases nitrogen for future crops, but it may also cause leaching of nitrate which can be harmful to the aquatic environment. Researchers from the Department of Agroecology at Aarhus University have investigated different cover crops and how they are turned over in the soil and how this may release nitrogen to…

Grass protein can replace imported soy protein in compound feed for livestock. However, a complete transition from soy to grass will require an optimization of grass cultivation as well as of the extraction technology applied. In addition, the grassland areas should be increased, and this will benefit the environment and make Danish agriculture…

The new VAP report focuses on the period from July 2016 to June 2018, when 18 pesticides were sprayed to test the leaching of one or more degradation products. For six of the pesticides, the leaching of the pesticide itself was also investigated.

The warning system for leaching of pesticides to groundwater (VAP) was created 20 years ago on the basis of a political desire to ensure the quality of drinking water and groundwater. VAP has since delivered results on the risk of leaching of pesticides and their degradation products from the test fields and thus new knowledge for the regulation…

How does organic plant production differ from conventional in relation to nitrous oxide emissions and nitrogen leaching? Researchers from Aarhus University, among others, have looked at the literature to create an overview and a better understanding of what constitutes differences between organic and conventional plant production.

Locating "lost" drainage pipes in the field has for many years been both time-consuming and expensive, but research from Aarhus University, US universities and research organizations has investigated the use of drones for locating drain pipes. Drone imagery is a solution that will save farmers time and efforts when the drains need to be…

Researchers from Aarhus University have investigated the availability of sulphur and nitrogen in co-ensiled crops and straw as well as cattle manure that has been through a biogas process. The study showed higher plant availability of nitrogen but lower availability of sulphur after degassing.
