Mehrnutzungshecken
Versatile use of soil protection systems for sustainable production, erosion reduction and increasing regional value added.
Project funded by the Lower Austrian Landscape Fund
In addition to the usual hedge plants, multi-use hedges also increasingly contain (wild) fruit, nut trees and shrubs, dye plants, precious woods / valuable woods or even rapidly growing woody plants or grasses that can be used for energy production. Their multifunctional usability can add value beyond that of a normal wind protection system, which compensates for the disadvantage by reducing the size of arable land, thereby reducing farmers' current concerns. The aim of the project is to understand the benefits of multi-use hedges for public and private interests and thus to lay the foundations for discussion of possible support measures.
In the first year of the project, the influence of multi-use hedges on the yield of the spelled on the adjacent arable land was measured on the basis of experimental harvests next to or in two existing pilot multi-use hedges, which Bio Research Austria had already set up in the Weinviertel more than 10 years ago harvestability and yield of creepers and nuts raised from the hedge. The company Grand in Absdorf put on new wind protection systems, designed as multi-use hedges. In order to record the initial status of BioResearch Austria, a monitoring of arthropod biodiversity was carried out.
At the "Organic-No-Till-Conference" in Absdorf on April 25, 2017 and on the excursion of the Danube Conference on April 27, 2017, the project "Multiple Use Hedges" was presented to interested farmers and the general public.
