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

In 2016, Farmers Nature Flanders pioneered the incorporation of woodchips into agricultural soil. As part of the Bodemgoud project, they are now taking the lead in gradual spreading of wood chips together with the Proef- en Vormingscentrum voor Landbouw and the Regionaal Landschap Lage Kempen. At a demonstration event in Pelt, this technique was explained.

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.

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

After 2 wetter years, farmers faced drought again this spring. However, not everywhere on a plot the drought threshold is crossed as early. We can respond to this to grow even more efficiently. Variable irrigation offers a smart and sustainable solution. The last two years we were mainly confronted with waterlogging. This spring,
