Réduire la phase de transition du semis direct en apportant massivement des matières organiques
The project involves testing the large-scale application of local green waste, compost, and manure on two farms with different types of soil (sandy and clay loam) in the Landes region in order to evaluate the most agronomically and economically relevant solution for increasing soil organic matter content and biological activity.
These inputs will be tested on plots using direct seeding or simplified cultivation techniques in organic and conventional agriculture. Several input methods will be tested in strips (input of 10 to 100 t/ha/year).
At the same time, the project aims to consolidate the supply of green waste via existing networks (waste collection centers) or to create new ones if the latter cannot meet expectations (in situ green waste platform)
