| At the Hessian state domain Frankenhausen, an organic farm with comparatively high yield potential, the integration of nature conservation measures is tested. Economic investigations aim to identify costs and changes of performance due to the adaptation of production processes to nature conservation targets. The main focus is on temporary measures that, like field-flower strips, potentially promote biodiversity on arable land. Initial calculations show the costs that must be taken into account for wildflower strips with autochthonous species on arable land. The analysis particularly considers the complex intra-farm integration of the conservation measures as a special characteristic of organic agriculture systems. |

| In an EU CRAFT project (COOP-CT-2004-508458) running from March 2004 to March 2006, an international consortium of producers of environmentally benign crop inputs, RTD performers and end users, evaluated the production and use of products manu-factured from different raw materials such as seaweeds, pine needles, trees and herbaceous species or physically hydrolysed bovine fur and hair residues. At the field level, the products were applied as solid pellets or liquids, as fertilisers or sprays, respectively. This paper presents as an example results from field trials of organically grown potatoes and tomatoes at the University of Kassel. Assessments were per-formed on yield, plant health and quality aspects. In most of the experiments solid products... |
