SolACE farmer networks

SolACE had maintained a European-wide on-farm experiment network. The work related to the farmer networks was carried out in work package 5 (Co-assessment of novel crop genotypes and management innovations in farmers’ networks) of the SolACE project.

Existing networks of farmers interested in testing innovative techniques and new genotypes were selected to represent the following regions and cropping systems of Europe:

  1. Bread wheat
    1. conventional production, boreal climate (SLU, Sweden)
    2. organic production, warm summer continental climate (FiBL, Switzerland)
    3. conventional production, mediterranean climate (UPM, Spain)
  2. Durum wheat
    1. conventional production, mediterranean climate (ARVALIS, France)
    2. organic production, mediterranean climate (CONCER, Italy)
  3. Potato
    1. conventional production, oceanic climate (LEAF and UNEW, UK)
    2. organic production, warm summer continental climate (ÖMKi, Hungary)

Innovations

Innovations for testing on-farm (novel genotypes and agroecosystem management practices) were identified in consultation with farmers and evaluated for their agronomic, environmental and economic impacts. The trials of innovations in each year in each country are included in the table below:
