From research to practice: multi-species mixtures as a pillar for agroecology (WEBINAR)
Tues 30 April, 10-11.30 CET
Andreas Lüscher, facilitator of our AGFF Innovation Hub in Switzerland, presents his team's research into the practical application of multi-species seed mixtures, demonstrating their advantages as a pillar for agroecology.
In this webinar, we explore functional biodiversity, input substitution, symbiotic nitrogen fixation and weed suppression. In doing so, we examine more closely:
- the agroecological advantages of mixtures, presenting research results from European projects with large experimental networks;
- the process of developing seed mixtures;
- the major mixture types, looking at how this depends on utilisation purpose and growth conditions;
- the AGFF certification label for high-quality seed mixtures.
