Obiective of the project

The aim of the project will be to develop an improved technique and technology for alternating row plant cultivation with the strip-till one-pass method, while meeting the individual agrotechnical requirements of the species in the mixture, as a consequence, obtaining a significantly improved mixture of cereal grains and legume seeds as a concentrate feed for livestock under the conditions of implementation assumptions for the decarbonisation of agriculture and the European Green Deal.

Description of project activities

The project will start with the development by a team of agronomists from the Bydgoszcz University of Technology of elements of agrotechnics alternating row cultivation of cereals with legumes in the strip-till one-pass technology. At the same time, the second stage, implemented by engineers and constructors of the Mzuri World sp. z o.o. company, will begin. The development works will lead to the improvement of the technical solutions within the Mzuri Pro-Til machine, which will enable the cultivation of narrow strips of soil, the application of fertilizers and the sowing of grain/seeds, optionally the application of microgranulates in one pass. There will be comparative tests relating the developed technology to classic technologies - traditionally used.

Description of the context of operations

The basis for the preparation of the project was research carried out in the agricultural company Agro-Land Marek Różniak, Research and Development Center Agro-Means-Technika-Technology in Śmielin in cooperation with the Department of Agronomy of the Bydgoszcz University of Technology.
The obtained results and the results of other long-term works on the Mzuri Pro-Til strip tillage technology allow to assume that alternating row cultivation of cereal-legume mixtures will allow to obtain a higher yield and yield of better quality than the cultivation of these plants in the previous coordinate mixtures. This assumption will be tested and its effects commercialized.
As a result of the implementation of the operation, an innovative technology will be created (significantly improving the process) for the cultivation of grain-legume mixtures.
Such a technology, unique on a national and global scale, will be consistent with the assumptions of sustainable development and greening of agricult

Additional comments

The main benefits of the project

The result of the project will therefore be a technology verified and ready to be implemented on the market, allowing farmers to work easier and reduce inputs and costs, and at the same time obtain higher yields of better quality, achieving better yields, which will result in the launch of a significantly improved product - concentrate feed for livestock. The improved technology will enable the cultivation of narrow strips of soil, the application of fertilizers and the sowing of grain/seeds in one pass, optionally the application of microgranulates with individualized operating parameters of individual sections.

Practice summary on final or expected results

The result of the project will be an improved technology for alternating row cultivation of plants with individualized agrotechnical parameters of plants - mixture components, which will translate into obtaining a larger yield of better quality (product) by farmers (compared to pure sowing of mixture components or sowing of mixed coordinates) as well as increasing competitiveness farmers, improvement of the financial result - saving fuel and fertilizers, reducing the input of chemical plant protection products, shorter working hours. An additional benefit of the operation will be a positive impact on the implementation of the EU policy: "Green Deal". Reducing the number of passages of agricultural machines in strip cultivation will reduce CO2 emissions to the atmosphere, limit water loss from the soil and degradation of organic matter, and also, thanks to limiting interference with the soil, will have a positive impact on biodiversity.
