Journal ArticleDOI
Biodynamic agriculture research progress and priorities
TL;DR: In this paper, a fair share of the available peer-reviewed research results of controlled field experiments as well as case studies show effects of BD preparations on yield, soil quality and biodiversity, and BD preparations express a positive environmental impact in terms of energy use and efficiency.

Organic Production and Use of Alternative Crops
Franc Bavec,Martina Bavec +1 more
TL;DR: An attempt is made to evaluate the phytochemical properties of wheatgrass, which has potential in finding its application in organic agriculture, as well as other crops, such as barley and oats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of industrial and alternative farming systems on contents of sugars, organic acids, total phenolic content, and the antioxidant activity of red beet (Beta vulgaris L. ssp. vulgaris Rote Kugel).
TL;DR: The contents of sugars, organic acids, total phenolic content, and the antioxidant activity were quantified in the flesh of red beet from conventional (CON), integrated (INT), organic (ORG), biodynamic (BD), and control farming systems using established methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cover crops in organic field vegetable production
Martina Robačer,Stefano Canali,Hanne Lakkenborg Kristensen,Franc Bavec,Silva Grobelnik Mlakar,Manfred Jakop,Martina Bavec +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the use of cover crop species and management practices based on the needs and goals of sustainable production in vegetable production and summarised studies show that further research is needed for best practices of vegetable production especially using living mulches and roller crimper for termining cover crops before planting vegetables.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Use of Image-Spectroscopy Technology as a Diagnostic Method for Seed Health Testing and Variety Identification
TL;DR: An interesting result of successful distinguishing between the infected and uninfected parts of the seed surface is produced and these components could be used in further studies for the development of a sorting model by combining data from multispectral imaging and SKNIR for identifying disease(s) and varieties.
