Untersuchungen zu Eigenschaften von Winterroggensorten und Triticale in einem Betrieb mit geringer Betriebsmittelzufuhr von außen

Investigations into Characteristics of Winter Rye Varieties and Triticale in a Low External Input System
Low external input systems, e.g. ecological agriculture, are able to solve problems concerning overproduction, diminishing resources, and environmental pollution. The suitability of varieties in ecological agriculture, and the transferability of results of investigations in conventional systems are almost unknown. Field trials with 9 genotypes of winterrye and 1 triticale were conducted from 1984 to 1986 at Neu-Eichenberg. The results can be summarized as follows:
1. The use of modern varieties, and their ability to establish a high plant density was most important to achieve high grain yields.
2. Highest yielding modern cultivars had a very good baking quality.
3. The findings corresponded well with conventionally obtained results.
