Conference topic:
The regulation of the budget of soil organic matter (SOM) and nutrients by management is a central focus in agriculture, especially in organic agriculture. The budgets of SOM and nutrients determine soil fertility, i.e. the long-term productivity of soils. However, the underlying processes of soil fertility in organic agriculture are not well understood. Therefore, the interdisciplinary research project deals within the scope of 11 PhD theses with the possibilities to regulate soil organic matter and nutrient budgets by soil management, crop rotation and by feeding strategies via the quality of the manure. The results of the third phase of the Research Training Group 1397 and investigations of other scientists will be presented and discussed within the conference workshop.
