| Field beans provide high-protein fodder and, as a legume, provide the soil with nitrogen. In the organic rotation, they are a welcome change from cereals. This leaflet provides a summary on what to consider in order to cultivate organic field beans successfully from seed to delivery. It contains information on the plants, their needs and on how they should be cultivated and harvested. It also shows how to protect the field beans from weed, diseases and pests. In addition, some information about profitability and possible uses is provided. This leaflet was made for farmers that want to begin cultivating organic field beans, but it might also be of use to conventional farmers. The information about economic aspects is specific to Switzerland. |

| Currently a large amount of the protein requirement is met by imports. By increasing the cultivation of grain legumes, a bigger part of this requirement could be met by local production. This leaflet provides a tabular overview on the following grain legumes: field beans, field peas, soya beans and sweet lupines. The table contains information about the plants and their needs. It is shown how they should be cultivated, protected and harvested. In addition, some information about profitability and possible uses is provided. This leaflet was made for farmers that want to begin cultivating organic grain legumes, but it might also be of use to conventional grain legume farmers. The information about economic aspects are specific to Switzerland. |

| Maize cultivation provides a valuable addition to the feed ration in farms with dairy cows. However, the cultivation of organic maize is challenging and posing risks regarding erosion, leaching of nutrients and soil compaction. Not all sites are suitable for maize cultivation. Therefore, it is important to first study the site before the cultivation. This leaflet provides some general information on how to cultivate organic maize optimally. Different topics about the needs of maize, the sowing, the right crop rotation and pest management are covered. Finally, there is also some information about economic aspects. This leaflet was made for farmers that want to begin cultivating organic maize, but it might also be of use to conventional maize farmers. The... |
