BEST 4 SOIL: how to reduce the use pesticides with 50% and fertilizers with 20% until 2020?

Healthy soils are of major importance for the future of the European horticultural and agricultural crop production. Especially in intensive production systems, soil borne diseases are a major factor with a negative impact on soil health. Newly developed best practices and sound crop rotations permit to maintain, improve or re-establish soil health in Europe.

The adaptation of optimised crop rotation as a basis to prevent build-up of soil borne diseases, which is specific to the needs and situation of each individual grower.

With Best4Soil we – 20 partners from the EU, including Bioselena Foundation – are building a community of practice network across Europe by inter-connecting growers, advisers, educators and researchers.

What is Organic Agriculture?

Priority for the BIOSELENA Foundation is the implementation of policies in the field of organic agriculture. Here are the most important principles of specific organic productions:

Organic Livestock Breading

Animal health and productivity need to be stimulated through tailor-made breeding systems, breed selection and adequate selection methods. In compliance with environmental standards, animals have to be selected based on their adaptation to the needs and conditions of the farm.

Organic Plant Production

Healthy soil is a prerequisite for healthy plants, healthy animals, thus healthy foods. In organic farming, the focus of all activities is the care of healthy soil, as well as the maintenance and increase of the soil fertility. Various vegetation and as much as possible a complete vegetation of the soil are the best prerequisites for that. Preserving and increasing the humus in soil.

Plant Protection Without Chemicals

In organic land, the focus is on measures that stimulate health and development of the resilient power of crops against diseases and pests. We talk about illnesses or enemies only when there is a unilateral multiplication of a particular enemy or disease.
