Meeting point for crop production experts

19 – 21 June 2012DLG International Crop Production Center

Bernburg-Strenzfeld (Germany)

www.DLG-Feldtage.de

English

Visit one of Germany’s most interesting arable farming regions!

4. Training activities The training of future entrepreneurs in

agribusiness is just as much a focal area as applied questions in practical plant production.

5. Communication of aspects of modern, sustainable agriculture to the non-agricultural public

Agriculture does not communicate its diverse successes and its social ben-efi ts to the non-agricultural population suffi ciently. Various communication projects are being developed across the IPZ platform.

With the IPZ, DLG has thus established a platform where experts from science and research, industry and business, right through to practical farming can pool their knowledge, compile their questions and develop solutions for common benefi t.

In autumn 2012 two long-term fi eld trials will be established at IPZ. On the one hand a comparison examining the arable and plant production impacts of different crop rotation systems will be launched. Comparable trials set up in the same way at another location with more precipita-tion will make it possible to provide results with cross-location relevance.

The second IPZ trial is a comparison of different soil working methods focusing on strip sowing. Here too cross-location results will be made possible by coordinating a few variants.

Alongside these long-term activities a series of further experimental trials is already in progress in collaboration with partners. These include projects addressing precision farming, soil working and agri-meteorology, as well as drought resistance of various crop species.

The DLG-Feldtage with their demon-stration plots, theme centers, machinery demonstrations and in particular the great European DLG cropping compari-sons present a plant production high-light for farmers throughout Germany and beyond every two years. In 2012 they will be held in one of Germany’s most interesting arable farming regions – the southern part of the Magdeburger Börde region and the west of the Köthen arable plain offer the best soils in Ger-many. A fi eld in this region received the maximum score of 100 in 1934 in the index of land quality that is still valid in Germany today. It is therefore not sur-prising that major plant breeding opera-tions and institutions evolved in the 19th and 20th centuries, among which those in Gatersleben and Bernburg-Strenzfeld still stand out today. People cleared the woods over wide areas and farmed the land here already thousands of years ago because of the good soils. This makes the district one of the least-wooded areas in Germany today.

In Bernburg-Strenzfeld DLG established its International Crop Pro duction Center (IPZ) in 2010, one of its leading invest-ments in the over 125 years of the Ger-man Agri cultural Society. The IPZ serves to promote applications-oriented re-search into plant growing and translation of the results into practice as a building block for competitive, forward- looking and sustainable agriculture. DLG as a non-profi t organization has considered the advancement of progress in agricul-ture to be its key task for 127 years now. At present 461 ha of a black earth made up of loess with soil scores between 78 and 96 are farmed. The average annual temperature at this only slightly hilly location is 9.7 °C, and the average annual rainfall is comparatively low at 511 mm.

The work of IPZ addresses fi ve focal areas:

1. Plant production and process engineering trials

The questions cover the entire band-width of plant production – classic issues of crop rotation, energy plant cropping, nutrient management, climate impacts of agriculture, adap-tation strategies to climate change, questions of organic farming and aspects of modern breeding technol-ogies. The focus is on practical testing of scientifi c fi ndings, their translation into practice and the deriving of new questions through a “round table” of plant production professionals from a range of different institutions.

2. Open air events and demonstration projects

The DLG-Feldtage 2012 from Tuesday, 19 June, to Thursday, 21 June 2012, and the next Field Days in 2014 will be held at IPZ. Further formats for open air events are being developed.

3. Agricultural machinery testing and tests out in the open

The informative power of open air tests – process engineering com-parisons e. g. as regards soil working, drilling machinery or combining – can be enhanced considerably on standardized, prepared areas at IPZ. These tests supplement the results of the European leader, the DLG Test Center for Machinery and Farm Inputs.

International for 24 years – the DLG cropping comparisons with oilseed rape and wheat

Ever since the fi rst DLG-Feldtage event 24 years ago, the DLG cropping com-parisons have been fascinating visitors. Since then large numbers of these visitors have used the opportunity to compare the diverse variants of the cropping methods and discuss the special features of their own cropping systems with leading plant production experts. This year, 19 experts from eight countries – the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Poland, Russia, Sweden and Switzerland – will be taking part. (Cropping comparisons Stand H11/J11).

Alongside this, comparisons of the commercial results of the methods continuing up to and after the harvest will make for sustained excitement. The Olympic idea holds good here – taking part is what matters! Despite this, the participants will seek to come off well in the economic competition between the methods.

For DLG as organizer, this means that the methods are not only presented in demonstration plots, but also “operated” as precise and scientifi cally founded experiments. All the plots will be har-vested, the harvested crops analyzed and the possible earnings set against the costs. With these results visitors can learn after the DLG-Feldtage how the participants coped with the local site conditions and how close they came to their targets communicated during the DLG-Feldtage (yield, quality and performance free of direct costs).

The participants in this year’s event have already been busying themselves with the site conditions in Bernburg-Strenzfeld since the summer before last in order to take the right decisions for creating optimal yield. At earlier events the soil preparation, drilling date and drilling method were uniform for reasons of methodology, but this year there are some interesting innovations.

In the winter oilseed rape comparison, participants were given the opportunity of precision seed placement using preci-sion drills as well as in-line drilling. Five of the eight participants took advantage of precision seed.

For winter wheat, six participants hope that by drilling 10 days earlier they will be able to utilize the yield potential of their varieties better.

As a result of these differences, clear distinctions could be seen already in the growth in au-tumn. The long, warm autumn and initially mild winter al-lowed the oilseed rape and wheat plants to fl ourish. Luckily, there was a pro-tective cover of snow during the cold period in February so that the plants did not suffer too much.

With fertilizer and plant protection meas-ures, it is now important to lead this potential to high yields with the planned quality. To this end the participants, who cannot see their plots regularly, are provid-ed with the necessary in-formation by DLG’s trial technicians. They can obtain information about the weather via online access to the auto-matic weather station in the fi eld. During the phase of intensive crop management, the recommendations of proven prognosis models are also available and represent a valuable aid, especially for international participants. All the work in the trial fi eld is carried out by DLG staff and documented pre-cisely. This ensures objective assessment of the methods in the business manage-ment analysis.

Energy from the fi eld (Stand H44)Cultivating energy plants is now well estab-lished and has become a long-standing hit in practical farming as well as in the public eye. In a separate theme center, the Federal Agency for Renewable Resources (FNR) will be showing alternatives to maize in biogas facilities. Alongside millet, cup plants, beets, wild plants, cereals and grass, farmed wood will also be presented as a fuel for biomass heating (and power) facilities.

Genetically engineered crops (Stand GC38)The GMO Theme Center offers visitors an opportunity to gather exhaustive information about all aspects of genetically engineered crops. Well-known representatives from research and industry will be presenting their work, explaining the various aspects and answering questions concerning genetic modifi cations along the product chain, thus creating the basis for comprehensive opinion forming.

Sustainability (Stand GC45)Sustainable management is becoming in-creasingly signifi cant in times of ever scarcer resources – in agriculture too, although here it is deeply rooted by nature. In particular seals of approval and certifi cates are becoming increasingly important for success. Deutsche Kreditbank AG as an EMAS-certifi ed fi nancing partner for agriculture invites you to exchange opinions and presents solutions encountered in practice concerning this topic.

Meeting point plant protection (Stand C43): Sustainable plant protection serves and safeguardsAgriculture needs to become ever more pro-ductive. More food, more feed, more energy plants – and all on a limited supply of land. Despite this, agriculture is required to remain sustainable. The input of plant protection agents into bodies of water caused by drift or surface rain-wash is to be reduced further and spot introductions into soil and water are to be avoided completely wherever possible. The meeting point plant protection of the industry’s association Industrieverband Agrar e.V. (IVA) shows how this can be done. Despite high productivity, arable farming is required to maintain and promote biodiver-sity. Here too, the meeting point plant pro-tection shows how it can be done. Small and micro areas at the borders of fi elds and fl ower strips offer many species both a home and nutrition. Effi cient plant protection im-proves productivity and leaves scope for maintenance of biodiversity. It serves and safeguards.

obstacles that makes extreme de-mands on the boom stability and balance. The spacer sensors managing the boom height will remain inactive in this section. The working speed during the passages will be measured in each case and displayed to visitors. Altogether 13 trailed sprayers and 9 self-propelled machines from 17 companies are registered for the demonstrations.

Automated steering and headland management (MD)Hardly any technical innovation in recent years has advanced into practice as quickly as steering systems. High- precision working during evening and night time hours too is only possible at all in many areas thanks to such func-tioning steering systems. Farms with smaller fi eld areas now also use these advantages that can boost fi eld work in smaller-structured regions too. What advantages the systems offer in fi eld work with tractors and how precisely they work will be shown clearly to visitors on the steering systems circuit. Alongside track guidance in straight lines or con-tours, it will be demonstrated for instance how the altogether 13 registered systems circumvent obstacles and how they cope at the headland, where possible

using a headland manage-ment system.

The demonstration of 8 mineral fertilizer spreaders from 7 companies on the DLG fertilizer spreader circuit will show what characterizes modern mineral fertilizer spreaders and what modern features they offer to farmers. In the demonstration, the machines will pass through a crop stand with different supply stages. The various system solu-tions for edge and border spreading will also be shown in action.

Precision plant protection (MC)Larger, faster, wider, and at the same time reduced spreading rates per hec-tare – this summarizes developments in plant protection sprayers. Increasingly higher precision right through to indi-vidual nozzle control is called for in applications in order to make spraying work increasingly possible during the generally wind-free evening and night hours too. Alongside developments in the chassis, further advances in the sprayer boom play an important role here too, especially when reduced ap-plication rates are to be spread precisely and safely. Nozzle lighting and auto-matic nozzle surveillance are becoming just as important in this connection as systems for automatic steering and boom management.

That is why the circuit for the fi eld spray-ers will be designed in such a way that manufacturers can demonstrate how well their automatic boom management can hug natural terrain contours. During the passage through this section the fi eld sprayers will be moving at a speed of 12 km/h. They will then run consider-ably more slowly – at 8 km/h – through a section with

The proven concept of the DLG-Feldtage once again provides ideal conditions for experiencing the wide variety of modern plant production at an attractive arable farming site. In addition, on all three days of the event there will be machinery demonstrations with altogether 62 ma-chines.

Oilseed rape drilling (MA)One regular subject of discussion is whether in-line drilling or precision drill-ing is better for oilseed rape. Interest also focuses on whether to do without soil turning preparation or to opt for full-scale intensive soil working. This requires appropriate drilling machinery in order to be able to safely ensure uniform establishment of stands even in dry locations like Bernburg.

The demonstration will show what drilling machinery the various manu-facturers recommend for such conditions and how they work compared with each other. Altogether 19 drilling machines – including six precision drills – from 15 companies have been registered for the demonstrations. The variants are: no working – drilling directly into the stubble, one cultivator pass with a work-ing depth of 15 cm, or two cultivator passes with working depths of 15 and subsequently 20 cm.

Precision fertilizing (MB)If one looks at the latest machines on offer, it becomes clear what development thrust is emerging specifi cally among mineral fertilizer spreaders. Features such as automated opening and closing of the dosing valves at the headland and spreading wedge-shaped sections, GPS-supported boom section control with online delivery point adjustment, or the compensating of wind infl uence are becoming increasingly signifi -cant. At the practical level, data transfer via ISOBUS is naturally developing ever more to become a “must have” on every modern spreader.
