Specific cultivar traits are important in intercropping systems
In his PhD studies, James Ajal has investigated intercropping combinations of pea and barley as well as faba bean and wheat, and found that the nutrient uptake efficiency of the crops play a more

Our Forage course will give you important knowledge for future agriculture
Are you interested in future agriculture and food? Then you really should attend SLU´s course about forage. Ley (temporary grassland) is the most commonly cultivated crop in Sweden, and it is also
Multifunctional biomass plantations can co-deliver biomass and environmental benefits
Large-scale deployment of perennial biomass plantations can effectively reduce nitrogen emissions to water and soil loss by wind erosion. This is shown in a spatial modelling study across over 81,000

Benefits of mixed crop agriculture
Agro-ecological practices which increase crop diversity can improve yields, reduce crop sensitivity to unfavourable climatic conditions, reduce fertilizer inputs, and overall enhance soil quality and
Monitoring and understanding forest mortality
Identifying and quantifying patterns and trends in forest die-offs is critical to understand causes of tree mortality. Knowledge of forests responses to disturbances such as drought, insect outbreaks
