Last week, we finished marking and georeferencing the plots for the measurements with the Litéral device in our practice-scale barley / soybean strip cropping experiment at Strickhof in Uitikon (ZH, CH). The barley / soybean strip cropping experiment constitutes the practice-scale counterpart to the small plot barley / soybean border effect experiment on our research station in Eschikon (ZH, CH) 🌾 🌱 🔬

About two months ago, we sowed the soybean in our barley / soybean border effect experiment. Sowing the soybean in between the standing barley was quite tricky, but in the meantime, the soybean plants have emerged, and we are busy collecting data about the interaction between the two crop species. 🌱 🌾

Hello, my name is Benedikt Haug, and I am a researcher at the #PlantBreeding group of #WageningenUniversity. I will post here regularly on my work in breeding for biodiverse and resilient cropping systems, such as mixed cropping, strip cropping, agroforestry and agrivoltaics.
My main interests are in the role of the #PlantGenotype and its #Holobiont in...
