Nothing is as constant as change and agriculture has always had to adapt to current conditions. In the current “ Chart of the Month” from DLG-Agrifuture Insights, we present the environmental and climate protection measures that are being addressed in arable farming based on the results of the 2023/24 winter survey.
In times of heat and drought stress, what is the best way to keep water in the soil so that it is available for the plant at the right time? Heat in summer or even in spring and fall causes groundwater supplies to dwindle. But there are ways to keep water in the field, store it and even harvest it.
In semi-arid regions of India, reliable rainfall predictions are vital for sustainable crop yields. As climate change disrupts rainfall patterns, farmers face increased uncertainty. My research leverages remote sensing to utilize vegetation status as a rainfall indicator, helping farmers in data-scarce areas make timely irrigation decisions and conserve precious water resources.
Livestock farms always attach particular importance to animal feed and feeding in terms of farm inputs; consequently, considerations regarding management sustainability are also very well reflected in this area.
Based on these results, the self-propelled Claas Jaguar 960 forage harvester is awarded the “DLG APPROVED” quality mark for the individual test criterion “Functionality and quality of work on silage maize”.
