Institut für Strategien und Folgenabschätzung
The patchCROP project is an experimental approach to design multifunctional and sustainable cropping systems of the future. It has been designed as a living lab to serve as a platform for the investigation of abiotic and biotic effects and interactions in newly created small-structured field units and, in particular, site-specific crop rotations and management practices adapted to the heterogeneity of the area. In interdisciplinary cooperation, the Julius Kühn Institute (JKI) develops and tests plant protection strategies that take into account the spatial and temporal diversification of crops at the landscape level. To this end, extensive monitoring of weeds, diseases and pests in the various crop forms the basis for decision making.
