| This module summarizes the online course "Challenges of Organic Arable Farming". This module is targeting students, farmers, advisors. The module is based on a PowerPoint presentation containing a theoretical background and supported by related specific tools (practice abstracts, leaflets, guidelines, data calculation tools, videos, books, reports, web pages) taken from the OK-Net Arable Knowledge platform (www.organic-farmknowledge.org). All modules Challenges of Organic Arable Farming 1st module: Strategies to enhance soil fertility and assessment of soil fertility and quality (http://orgprints.org/35291/) Challenges of Organic Arable Farming 2nd module: Fertilization strategies to enhance nutrient availability in organic arable crops... |

| Organic farming has relied heavily on tillage for weed control while conventional no-till techniques depend entirely on herbicides for weed control and effective cover crop kill. The challenges have been how to make the benefits of no-till accessible to organic farmers. Jeff Moyer, Rodale Institute, explains how organic no-till works, using sound biological principles and mechanical cover-crop termination, to reduce and even eliminate tillage. The system works well for soybean and requires further investigation for other crops. This is an advanced technique and requires some skills to be successfully applied, but it will probably be the way to grow many field crops. |

| Direct drilling has achieved results similar to conventional sowing techniques (including seedbed preparation) if the soil is well structured. Practical recommendations Observations and practical tips • Pay attention to the soil structure when applying any mechanical operation. During the harvest, offloading should take place at the headlands. • In the case of a high presence of deep-rooting weeds, choose a double-layer soil preparation (instead of compacting the soil) in order to increase porosity. • Avoid sowing if heavy rains are expected in the next 5-6 days. • Include cover crops in the rotation to improve soil structure. Cover crops are a key element to fine-tune direct drilling techniques. • Directly drilled soil warms up more slowly in... |

| It offers videos, dossier and short info-sheets reporting practical farmers experiences. At today, for arable crops, it includes a dossiers on direct-drilling in crop residues or living mulches, a dossier on crop association (companion planting) with several details on how to do it in practices and what still needs to be fixed in order to be successful in certain situations, and a dossier on biological control as a tool to manage habitats. The language of the platform is very direct and it is easy and fast to use. The platform is a dynamic tool so further material will probably be added in the future. |

| The ploughing of a meadow to a maximum depth of 10 cm to perform a strip-till is a great challenge. At a machine demonstration of FiBL, the performances of six ploughing devices, namely two different plough models, two shallow cultivators and two machines driven by a power takeoff (PTO), were compared. All machines could plough the leys at a maximum depth of 10 cm under the given conditions, but gave different field surface results. The film shows how the presented devices work and how successful they are. The choice of a machine for a specific farm is highly dependent on the prevailing soil conditions, the weed pressure and its crop rotation, and should be carefully considered. |

| Due to its high (40%) protein content the global significance of soybean has been constantly growing in food and feed production alike. The manual consists of relevant up-to-date information of production, processing and marketing of soybean in Europe and can be used by organic producers, processors, traders, policy makers and other stakeholders as well. Its aim is to provide basic yet comprehensive guidelines for the development of the European production and market. |

| Pest and diseases can have a significant effect on the establishment, yield and longevity of grass and forage crops. This tool is an atlas for the identification of the main pests regarding grass and forage crops. It has been written for Wales climates and it is not specific for organic farming. Nonetheless, the information contained, can be used by farmers, conventional or organic, skilled or newcomers, all over Europe. Besides pest descriptions, with pictures that facilitate the task of identification, it provides useful hints on preventive, non-chemical, practices to reduce pest incidence. |

| Growing protein-rich roughage/silage can help increase self-sufficiency and improve the crop rotation on organic poultry farms. Different types of silage can be fed to layers daily and contribute to the poultry's nutrient requirements. The roughage/silage is allocated several times a day with a mechanical suspension system. It also keeps the layers occupied and provides activity, minimising the risk of feather pecking. The method is considered a new concept of producing protein rich roughage that can be used in feed formulation. Target groups are organic farmers, but it is also valuable for advisors and scientists. |

| Soybean silage can replace part of the lucerne hay or part of the lucerne silage. Practical recommendations. Observations and practical tips • Best at the R6/R7 stage (full seed size for apical pods and beginning maturity for basal pods). • Late harvests (stage R7/R8) promote good silage fermentation and preservation of the product; however, there is a loss of dry matter. • If harvest occurs at stage R5/R6, use a swather to mow the soybean 24 to 48 hours prior to chopping (at around 35 % dry matter). • Choose varieties with low levels of anti-nutritional factors. • Increase seed rate to decrease stem diameter. • Consider using a microbial inoculum to promote proper fermentation. |

| The appropriate combination of crops and green manures prevents spread of perennial weeds and increases crop yields and quality. Weed-suppressing crop rotations are absolutely essential for sustainable organic arable farming. Practical recommendation Basic rules • Implement green manures, such as clover or lucerne, in at least 20 % of the rotation. • Do not grow more than 50 % of cereals with low weed competitiveness in the rotation. Do not cultivate such crops for more than 2 consecutive years. • In fields with prevalent high weed pressure cultivate only crops with high weed competitiveness. Points to consider in case of high weed pressure: • Do not grow grain legumes where perennial weeds are a problem. Late harvest in combination with loose... |

| • Lower accumulation of copper in the soil. • Less damage to microorganisms in the soil. • Potential saving in costs of spraying agent. • Improved distribution of spraying agent over the required period of treatment until exhaustion of the permitted maximum quantity. Practical recommendation Adapting dosage to state of infestation: As long as there is no infestation in a radius of 50 km, refrain from treating. Observe national information and alert services. As soon as the first case of infestation in the region is reported, protect potatoes with 200 to 250 g of pure copper per hectare. If potatoes in your own or neighbouring fields are afflicted by leaf blight, increase the dosage to 800 g and do not wait longer than a week in between treatments.... |
