Innovative methods of nitrogen management in crops systems, the case of wheat

Innovative methods of nitrogen management in crops systems, the case of wheat

About project

The operational group intends to contribute to the development of effective solutions to improve the protein rates of cereals. It aims to promote better methods of nitrogen management in the crop systems of the Centre Val de Loire region for farmers and storage agencies. It will test, adapt and share a new method to pilot nitrogen inputs with farmers. The goal is to follow closely the wheat nutrition. In addition to answering the quality problem of wheat, the project aims to reduce the nitrogen inputs and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Contributions


    The operational group is intended to contribute to develop effective solutions for protein rates in cereals. It aims also to promote betters methods of nitrogen management in the crops system of the region Centre Val de Loire for farmers and the storage agencies. The consortium will test, adapt and share a new method (INRA-ARVALIS) to pilot nitrogen inputs with farmers. The goal is to follow closely the wheat nutrition track. Behind the answer to the farmers and storage agencies quality problem, the consortium aim to reduce the nitrogen inputs and to reduce greenhouse gas. The video is in French.
