  1. 1. Reimagining agriculture with perennial crops : a study on the diffusion of innovation and soil ecosystem services in the new perennial grain Kernza

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Författare :Robin Meijer; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Intermediate Wheatgrass; Kernza; Thinopyrum Intermedium; perennial grain; polyculture; wheat; annual; microbial biomass; soil microbial community structure; PLFA; NLFA; sustainability; agroecology; ecological intensification; innovation;

    Sammanfattning : Perennial crops have been identified as a pathway to implement ecological intensification, which in extent could make agriculture more socio-economically and ecologically sustainable. This is a master thesis in Agroecology – a growing scientific discipline that aims to investigate problems in the food system using a holistic and transdisciplinary approach, incorporating and integrating both natural and social sciences to transform the food system.

  3. 2. Weed suppressive ability of crop mixtures

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Författare :Anna Pers Berglund; [2016]
    Nyckelord :Elytrigia repens L. Desv. ex Nevski; intercropping; LAI; LAI-2200C Plant Canopy Analyzer; leaf area index; pea; spring barley; weed; weed tolerance;

    Sammanfattning : In order to assess the weed suppressive ability of a pea/barley crop mixture and the component crops in sole cropping, a controlled outdoor experiment was performed at The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Ultuna, Sweden, in the summer of 2015. A substitutive completely randomized experimental design was used with seven treatments and six replicates. LÄS MER
