Because of this we have taken the initiative of having the production of durum wheat in Central Germany analysed by the independent Institute for Sustainable Agriculture (Privates Institut für Nachhaltige Landbewirtschaftung – INL). In an initial stage the INL examined six farms which are representative of the region and cultivate an area ranging between 500 and 2,700 hectares. On the basis of data relating to individual field sections the crop years of 2009 to 2011 were analysed in relation to the sustainability criteria of the German Agricultural Society (Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft – DLG). The results of this initial study (PDF, 522KB) clearly indicate that the cultivation of durum wheat in Central Germany is sustainable. With the cultivation of durum wheat an additional component has been added to crop rotation in the region, which makes a further contribution to the positive effects of biodiversity. © 2016 Saalemühle Alsleben GmbH Home News Careers Contact About this site Unified Contract Terms D&P Sitemap Deutsch
