Tammseminarium: Redefining the field to mobilize three-dimensional diversity and ecosystem services on the arable farm

seminars, workshops |

We will explore the concept and implications of three-dimensional (spatial, temporal, and genetic) in-field crop diversification to inform systems redesign towards ecological intensification. Seminar by Dirk van Apeldoorn​ Research lecturer at Wageningen University.

More information from Dirk van Apeldoorn:

 

First a conceptual framework for classifying diversity in arable contexts will be presented, and then applied to analyse two long-term systems experiments in The Netherlands where spatial and genetic diversity measures were implemented via strip and mixed intercropping with the aim to increase ecosystem service delivery: incidence and spreading rate of late blight (Phytophthora infestans) in potato (Solanum tubersosum L.), and biocontrol control potential in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Results indicate that compromises between management complexity and ecosystem service enhancement are achievable through strip cropping, an operable practice with current machinery, and one that does not require a thorough reconfiguration of the production system. 

All are most welcome to attend via Zoom:
