Crop rotation and soil health

Optimalt - EU-Project - Case Study
The malting process is the first stage of beer production. It transforms the barley into malt through a germination process that needs to be well controlled. The quality of the barley is key to finally obtaining a premium end product, thus the malting quality (MQ) of barley needs to be assessed by a reliable technique. However, parameters currently used for assessing malting quality of barley are ...

Growing with farmers: making research relevant
The application of scientific understanding to farming has improved crop yield and quality. However, farmers and scientists speak different languages. Farmers discuss yield and cost-benefit; scientists quantify caveats, uncertainty and risk. Moreover, a scientific field trial may produce a wonderful PhD but not be applicable anywhere outside the test site. Farmers deserve better than that. What ...
