Samenvatting chemische proeven knolcyperus 2025

Knolcyperus is al geruime tijd een hardnekkig en wijdverspreid probleem binnen het Vlaamse landbouwlandschap. Dit moeilijk te bestrijden onkruid vormt een grote uitdaging voor landbouwers, onder meer door zijn sterke ondergrondse knolvorming en snelle verspreiding. Een doordachte en geïntegreerde aanpak is dan ook essentieel om verdere uitbreiding te beperken en bestaande haarden onder controle te […]

Local wood, healthy soil

What started as an experiment is today a practice that is taking hold all over Flanders. From our work on landscape management, we at Boerennatuur Vlaanderen were looking for ways to valorise the released wood in a way that was useful and accessible to farmers. That's how we ended up with the incorporation of wood chips into the soil in 2016.

Soil life: How healthy are Limburg's gardens?

The soil is the foundation of every aspect of garden life. Without healthy soil, plants cannot root, grow or flower properly. Yet we tend to focus our attention on what happens above ground, while often knowing little about the condition of our own garden soil. This observation led to the creation of the Limburg citizen science project “Bodemleven” (Soil Life). Within this project

On sandy soils, a decrease in organic matter content is also observed. Boosting this again will have a positive impact on soil quality, the water retention capacity of
