Vision & Objectives
In our project we would like to find ways, in which chemicals are avoidable, but the productivity is insured in the Hungarian weather conditions. With our investigation we would like to figure out, whether the soybean production with limited chemical use (not ecological with the higher price) is possible and can keep productivity.
Activities
During our investigation we examine soybean production in seven several places of Hungary during 3 years. On every place 10 species are planted in two replays and one replay is handled with chemicals and in the other we only use mechanical methods. In the end of the season we compare the yields, inner contents and economic factors. Through this we expect to find out if soybean production without using herbicides could be effective.
