Maize-bean mixed cropping

Bonzheim, Anja; Haase, Thorsten; Roth, Philipp

As a large-area crop, silage maize (Zea mays L.) needs cultivation methods that make it possible to grow the crop in a more environmentally friendly way without sacrificing yield. One way to reduce the risk of erosion, increase biodiversity in the stand and improve nitrogen utilisation can be through mixed cropping. The combination of maize and runner beans (Phaseolus vulgaris var. vulgaris), which originated in Latin America, has this potential and has been the subject of more intensive research in West-Central Europe for several years.

Der Silomais (Zea mays L.) als flächenstarke Kultur benötigt Anbauverfahren, die es ermöglichen, die Kultur ohne Ertragseinbußen umweltverträglicher anzubauen. Ein Weg, das Erosionsrisiko zu reduzieren, die Artenvielfalt im Bestand zu erhöhen und die Stickstoffausnutzung zu verbessern, kann der Gemengeanbau sein. Die aus Lateinamerika stammende Kombination von Mais und Stangenbohnen (Phaseolus vulgaris var. vulgaris) hat dieses Potenzial und wird seit einigen Jahren in Westmitteleuropa intensiver erforscht.
