The origins of Kaszewy farm date back to the nineteenth century. Click through the carousel to learn more about this Bayer ForwardFarm.
1. Yield starts with seeds: Sowing varieties adapted to local conditions ensures high yield. Modern varieties have traits enabling resistance to diseases, frost, or drought.
2. Soil care: Crop rotation, regular assessment of macro- and microelement content, as well as organic fertilization, build and protect soil fertility.
3. Smart crop protection: Digital disease models and careful observation of plant health help optimize crop protection. Agronomic measures are combined with chemical products and biologics.
4. Precision farming: The Climate FieldViewTM digital tool helps the farmer to be more efficient and make smart decisions. It accurately indicates areas of the field where disease, or poor water supply, can occur.
5. Integrated weed management: Rotation of crops and herbicide modes of action prevent weeds from developing resistance.
6. Biodiversity conservation and enhancement: Numerous agro-ecological solutions promote biodiversity: flowering strips and stone-hill heaps for beneficial insects, and skylark plots and poles for birds of prey.
7. Safety first: Storing crop protection products in an adapted, locked warehouse and the use of protective equipment ensures safety for the farmer and the environment.
8. Empty Container Management: The emptied packaging of crop protection products is rinsed three times. Those marked with special pictograms are sent to the PSOR packaging collection point to ensure safe recycling.
9. Best practice applications: Equipment calibration and adjustments, as well as the use of anti-drift nozzles and wind-speed checks.
10. Water protection: Phytobac® Sustainable management of wastewater by cleaning spraying equipment in a closed system that biologically breaks down crop protection product residues.
11. Partnership: Bayer ForwardFarming unites the skills and expertise of different partners for continuous improvement.
Building Up Yields From the Very Start
A smart farmer is always attentive to the environmental conditions in his fields. Poland is increasingly affected by droughts and high temperatures during the growing season, and climate change is making the situation even more extreme. This becomes especially critical on light soils that do not retain water well. To help make the best use of resources in the face of a changing climate, Krzysztof is testing new drought tolerance corn varieties as well as select sugar beet varieties that have resistance to diseases and pests.
