CO2 reduction, pesticides, regenerative agriculture, just a few slogans that have been popping up more and more in the sector and in the news lately. This spring, for example, Denmark announced a plan that will introduce a CO2 tax on dairy production from 2027.
As laws and regulations become stricter, farming in Europe becomes more challenging. 
This summer, a European report followed in which the playing field within agriculture will be adjusted in all aspects towards sustainability.
For several years now, we have been working on this, and the broad application possibilities are becoming increasingly clear and we see beautiful and valuable developments in collaboration with our customers! After all, on the one hand, we want to reduce weed pressure, because this has consequences for biodiversity. After all, weeds have an overgrowing characteristic that displaces other species.
On the other hand, it is also true that we should not want to use crop protection agents to reduce weeds … This is of course not only for the sake of CO 2 reduction, but such agents also have more influence and impact on nature than desired.
As some of you may already know, we have also been working in practice for years with the application of our product and the reduction of pesticides. In arable farming, we see that farmers apply our product in higher doses on the plots to reduce the disease pressure in a natural way.
Another good example of what a changing environment can do in this line of weed pressure and disease pressure reduction, is the previously described composting experiment. Here we succeeded in getting the germination power of weed seeds back to 0 and the nematodes parasitic are also 0. This was in the same experiment, in the same pile without adding chemical agents. Only the application of Compost-O®.
An example of the speed of the working procedure is the corn trial that is also published in this newsletter. In this case, 1 manure tank was treated during spreading and this was spread immediately. The difference? Treated plants had much better root growth and were not affected by (early) fusarium (fungal disease), the treated plants next to them were not as healthy.
