Pflanzenschutzmittel: besser informieren zu Nebenwirkungen

To reduce the use of herbicides to control track-side vegetation, the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) commissioned Agroscope and HEPIA to develop a low-growing plant mix for the track area.

Agroscope has compiled a new map of Switzerland’s organic soils, which forms the basis for developing a strategy for managing these soils.

An Agroscope study shows that the Suisse-Bilanz nutrient-balance calculation tool could serve as an environmental indicator for sustainable nutrient use – but only for phosphorus, not for nitrogen.
