  1. 1. Kemiska växtskyddsmedel i jordbruket : en förutsättning för tryggad livsmedelsförsörjning?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Joakim Stattin; [2023]
    Keywords : växtskydd; kemiska växtskyddsmedel; livsmedelstrygghet; jordbruk; avkastning; odlingssystem; integrerat växtskydd;

    Abstract : Jordbruket står inför stora utmaningar under de kommande decennierna. Jordens ökande befolkning driver upp efterfrågan på livsmedel och biobränslen från jordbruket. Men jordbrukets produktion bör inte öka genom att expandera till ytan eftersom det skulle ske på bekostnad av viktiga naturliga habitat. READ MORE

  3. 2. Integrating horticultural and arable crops : a sustainable way to increase vegetable production in Scania?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Stina Helena Mortensen; [2022]
    Keywords : Horticulture; agriculture; vegetables; crop rotation; crop sequence; diversification; integration; ecosystem services; farmers’ attitudes;

    Abstract : Modern arable production is associated with a highly homogenous landscape with few cultivated species and is relying heavily on external chemical inputs. Intensive vegetable production, on the other hand, is associated with environmental costs such as increased risk of nutrient leaching and loss of soil organic matter. READ MORE

  4. 3. Long-term effects of cropping system on red clover proportion and crude protein concentration in mixed leys

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Sanna Bergqvist; [2021]
    Keywords : red clover; Trifolium pratense L; persistence; ley age; Sweden; crop rotation; harvest;

    Abstract : Red clover is an important crop in Sweden, being the most cultivated forage legume in the country. It has a high crude protein concentration and fast establishment, which makes it a welcome addition to a ley mixture. However, red clover is not persistent and generally little remains in the third harvest year. READ MORE

  5. 4. Växtföljdsstrategier för småskalig grönsaksodling

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Elin Johnson; Josefine Lundgren; [2021]
    Keywords : gröngödsling; stallgödsel; organiska gödselmedel; kväveläckage; ekologisk odling; direktförsäljning; green manure; animal manure; organic fertilizers; nitrogen leaching; organic farming;

    Abstract : Det övergripande målet med denna studie var att undersöka vilka utmaningar som den småskaliga ekologiska grönsaksodlaren ställs inför och hur en näringseffektiv växtföljd kan planeras med hjälp av organiska gödselmedel. I denna litteraturstudie sammanställde vi forskning som undersökt hur tillämpningen av en varierad växtföljd kan användas som en långsiktig odlingsstrategi i syfte att uppnå en effektiv näringshushållning, hindra uppförökning av skadegörare, minska ogrästrycket och bibehålla markens bördighet i ekologisk grönsaksodling.

  6. 5. The natural pest control potential of different landscapes : mapping the ecosystem service in three regions of Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Charlotte Peitz; [2021]
    Keywords : natural pest control; natural enemies; landscapes; agricultural diversification; pesticide reduction; mapping; ecosystem service; ecological intensification; agroecology;

    Abstract : Natural pest control describes the process of natural enemies suppressing pests and thus reducing crop damage and stabilizing yields. How well these beneficial arthropod predators and parasitoids can thrive in a landscape is influenced by the land-use types in the vicinity, such as forest patches, pastures, or agricultural fields, and their ability to provide resources.
