October 13, 2014: TILMAN-ORG session at the Organic World Congress

Logo TILMAN

The session of the TILMAN-ORG project at the Organic World Congress will take place on Monday, the 13th of October 2014 at the ICC in Istanbul.

The overall goals of the project Reduced tillage and green manures for sustainable organic cropping systems – TILMAN-ORG are to design improved organic cropping systems with: enhanced productivity and nutrient use efficiency, more efficient weed management and increased biodiversity, but lower carbon footprints. Results of the project, which ended in September 2014 and which is coordinated by FiBL, will be presented at this session on October 13, 2014.

Oral presentations (4.30 to 6. pm) will include
