Andreas Lüscher, from our AGFF Innovation Hub in Switzerland, presents his team's research into the practical application of multi-species seed mixtures, demonstrating their advantage as a pillar for agroecology.
This webinar explores functional biodiversity, input substitution, symbiotic nitrogen fixation and weed suppression.
Find out more about
- the agroecological advantages of mixtures, presenting research results from European projects with large experimental networks;
- the process of developing seed mixtures;
- the major mixture types, looking at how this depends on utilisation purpose and growth conditions; and
- the AGFF certification label for high-quality seed mixtures.
Of interest to
- Researchers wanting to know more about the effects of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning, or in applied development of multi-species mixtures
- people working in agricultural extension services
- teachers of agriculture in a college or university
- representing a seed company
- farmers producing crops with and without leys
