Flowery for biogas

Cultivation of a perennial flower-rich biogas mixture

In implementation

We want to test a new perennial flowering mixture to produce biogas from fields rich in flowers. This will simultaneously create a habitat for wildlife species, especially wild bees, butterflies and field birds.

Über das Projekt

Initial situation

The arable land is part of an organic farm and is currently farmed organically.

Why here?

The farm operates a biogas plant and would like to try out this ecological variant of biomass production in order to perhaps cultivate this mixture on a larger area in the future.

What would happen without the project?

The farm would grow other crops to feed the biogas plant.

In contrast to the usual maize cultivation, which can be used in the biogas plant, the flowering area breaks up this monoculture.

Concrete measures

- Creation of a flowering area in the period 2021 - 2025 (5 years)
- Single sowing of 10 kg/ha BG70 from SaatenZeller in March 2021
- No use of PPPs
- N fertilisation exclusively via fermentation residues, max. 70 kg N/ha/a (according to withdrawal via yield)
- Late use date from 15 July
- 30 % of the area annually left unused/unmown over winter as a protected area for insect and field bird protection

You invest in the following ecosystem services:

Pollination service

The flowering mixture used creates a long flowering phase and thus creates an important food source for diverse pollinating insects. Over the winter, we leave about 30% of the area as a roost for the insects and cover for other wildlife species.

Flowering months: 3

Diverse wild plant mixture with 25 annual, perennial and perennial species

Special habitat structures

Winter stock: 30 % of the area

No use of insecticides

Animal diversity

The flowering area creates a habitat for wildlife species. We expect the use by field birds and will also observe and report on this. In order to enable field birds to successfully raise their young, the area will only be used from 15 July onwards.

Particularly supported are

Wild bees
Butterfly
Field birds

Special habitat structures

Perennial flowering area with late use from mid-July: 20 metres wide

In-depth experience

With the flowering area we are testing the flowering mixture and will share the results with other farmers. All interested parties are invited to visit the project on site. We will also report on the progress here on AgoraNatura.

So everyone can experience the ecosystem service

The area is accessible via a public street or path.
Pictures of the project are published annually on the online marketplace AgoraNatura.
The area can be visited after arranging with the land user.

Documentation in the implementation phase

The project starts on 01.09.2020 and exactly goes 5years , provided all certificates have been sold.

You will be regularly informed about the progress of the project. For this purpose, the providers can provide short news, picture or audio material. The providers are obliged to report at least once a year whether everything went well with the implementation. If there are difficulties from your point of view, please contact us, the provider itself or the certification body.

All beginnings are difficult (01/22)

In the first year, our attempt unfortunately did not work out. The seed did not emerge and practically nothing of the desired variety was seen on the area. So every beginning is difficult. But we have a great long test phase, will start the next sowing in March 2022 and hope that this year the diversity will bloom.
