Deutsche Saatveredelung AG, Asendorf, Germany

Soil is an important natural resource that plays an essential role in agriculture. The BonaRes - Soil as a Sustainable Resource - programme funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) asks how soils can be protected and at the same time used effi ciently and sustainably. The CATCHY research network has been participating in this programme since 2015 and has thus been able to set up long-term fi eld experiments. The main objective of CATCHY is to investigate the effects of catch crops within the crop rotation with a special focus on soil structure, water balance, nutrient cycling and the microbiome. One of the long-term trials was established at the host site - Deutsche Saatveredelung AG (DSV) - in Asendorf.
