| The performance of UK winter wheat varieties was tested under organic conditions involving farmer participation. Three breadmaking varieties (Hereward, Solstice and Xi19) and their mixture (1:1:1) were grown at 19 UK farms in 2003/04 and 2004/05. The variability of productivity on organic farms was illustrated with more variation among farm sites than among varieties. Seed health was generally high over all sites. Although the trials were successful, more time was needed at project initiation to improve farmer involvement. Some farmers expected more researcher visits, and were reticent about assessing the trials themselves. In contrast, some participants valued the variety performance data on their farms particularly when related to that of other growers.... |

| Ekologisk produktion av oljeväxter, raps och rybs, har varit av blygsam omfattning, cirka 100 ha har skördats årligen under slutet av 1990-talet. År 2000 ökade odlingen till 300 – 400 ha, och under 2001 har cirka 1 200 ha odlats. Sedan hösten 1997, då priserna på ekologiskt producerad soja steg, har intresset från marknaden varit stort för ekologiskt oljefrö. Med KRAV-regler som föreskriver en allt högre andel KRAV-godkänt foder kommer ekologiskt producerat rapsmjöl fortsatt att vara högintressant för såväl mjölk- som svinproducenter. Behovet bedöms uppgå till 2 000 ton för enbart mjölkproduktionen, motsvarande en odling av cirka 1 500 ha. Odling av oljeväxter är förenad med en rad svårigheter; bl.a. grödans stora kvävebehov, skadeinsekter, framförallt... |
