SolACE Field Experiments

One of the task in Workpackage 3 was the management of an international field trial network. The field experiments aimed to test various innovative agricultural practices for bread wheat, durum wheat and potato. Five countries were involved (Hungary, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal and France). The study topics included new types of fertilizer and microbial inoculants, decision support tools, conservation tillage and rotational grain legumes. The field experiments were also strongly linked to the other Workpackages, particularly with the Workpackage 2, which provided the cultivars on which the innovative practices were tested, and with the Workpackage 5 where some innovative practices were transferred in on-farm experiments.
