CROPSYS
The effect of cropping systems on production and the environment
The overall goal is to quantify productivity and environmental impacts of different organic and conventional cropping systems across a range of soil and climatic conditions, and to identify management measures which contribute significantly to a sustainable development of the individual cropping systems. The basic hypothesis is that organic cropping systems can be maintained with high productivity at low environmental impact through better crop rotation design and management, as modified by soil type and climate. This will be achieved through a better description of the role of soil N dynamics, soil properties and crop and weed dynamics in the different systems, and using modelling and scenario analyses to integrate and evaluate production-related and environmental indicators of sustainability.

Annual winter project meeting 28 February to 1 March 2007
The annual project meeting will be hed at Sandbjerg Gods near Sønderborg on 28 February to 1 March. The first day will be devoted to presenting results and plans for the indivdiual workpackages and also discussing the links with other projects. The second day will be devoted to discussing the management of the crops and the different cropping systems in the crop rotation experiment, which forms the basis for CROPSYS. The meeting agenda is available here.
