More Light, Higher Yield: Strawberries React More Sensitively to Shading than Raspberries
In Switzerland a large proportion of strawberries and raspberries are grown under protective structures that could be combined with agrivoltaic systems. A study conducted by Agroscope and Insolight investigated how shading impacts yield and fruit quality and calculated threshold values.
Nitrogen Nutrition Begins in the Vineyard
The hot, dry years between 2021 and 2025 substantially reduced the yeast-assimilable nitrogen in the musts of Vaud wines – particularly in Chasselas – with direct impacts on fermentation and wine quality.
Adaptable and High-Yielding: Multispecies Mixtures Make Sown Grasslands Climate-Change-Proof
Mixtures of several forage-plant species systematically increase yields with lower fertiliser input. Higher temperatures enhance the benefits of these mixtures, making them a key component of climate-change adaptation.
