Biodiversity in grassland

ongoing

At the same time, increase the abundance of species in grassland and the economic viability of farmers? The Bavarian State Institute for Agriculture, the Schlagl organic school and the Kringell State Estate show that it is possible. Objectives: Grassland stands for a diverse biodiversity and dominates the agricultural areas in the border region Bavarian Forest – Mühlviertel. In order to be able to maintain it in the future, the project partners are working to optimise the Mahd in terms of biodiversity and profitability. In addition, it is necessary to find gentle methods to stop the harmful maize beetle seedlings. The project partners develop the findings together with pilot companies in the region and incorporate them into the teachings of the Bioschule Schlagl and the state estate Kringell. Activities: Develop operational concepts for grassland use. Optimisation of management in organic pilot farms. Comparison of methods to fight youngsters. Comprehensive data collection on adaptations in grassland use. Knowledge transfer to agriculture and multipliers. Results: Management concepts for grassland in four pilot farms. Examples of learning, teaching units for adults, brochures and publications.
