Crowley, J.G., Improving the Yield and Quality of Arable Crops in Organic Production Systems. End of Project Report, Teagasc, 2005
Abstract
Ireland's ability to supply organic arable products to meet future market requirements depends on the provision of
scientific quantitative information on the production of these crops. The conversion of an 8-ha site at Oak Park is
described. The establishment of a single stockless 7-year rotation (wheat, potatoes, oats, legume, spring barley followed
by two years’ grass/clover lea) with three replicates is described. The results of the first series of experiments are
presented and the possible implications discussed.
