"LTE hub" Halle

Research hub on long-term field experiments (LTEs)

Collaborative network & interdisciplinary collaboration

Main interest

• Special interest in new agronomical insights based on long-term  field experiments (LTEs): https://ltehub.landw.uni-halle.de/
• Designing sustainable and climate-resilient cropping systems
  (complex system of “soil x climate x genotype x agronomic management”)
• Assessing   the impact of current and future climate scenarios on production risk   and environmental adaptability of cropping systems depending on   agronomic management
• Developing agronomic strategies to improve soil fertility
• Designing soil conserving strategies and site adapted methods of soil cultivation
• Key factors: soil cultivation, crop rotation, catch crops, plant residues, biostimulants
• Key methods: lab analyses, field experiments (exact/on-farm), statistical analyses, agroecosystem modelling, empirical studies

Designing sustainable cropping systems: here we are analysing the impact of crop rotation diversification, introducing legumes and catch crops.

Developing agronomic strategies to improve soil fertility: here we are mainly interested in soil biological and physical parameter.

Current projects

• DiP:SuSaKlim – Superfood from Saxony-Anhalt; climate-adapted crop rotations in organic farming and development of digital value chains for marketing

---

• Site-differentiated evaluation and crediting of nitrification inhibitors as a climate change mitigation measure in crop production

Completed projects

• Effect of inhibited ammonium sulphate urea on the increase of the nitrogen use efficiency and reduction of ammonia and nitrous oxide emissions due to mineral fertilization

---

• Effects of heat emission of an underground high voltage direct current transmission on soils and crops in Saxony-Anhalt

---

• Impact of diverse production systems on yield stability and environmental adaptability of wheat and barley: a study based on long-term field experiments

---

• Wheat in efficient crop rotations in the interplay of an ideal development of nutrients
