Reports: What are they actually doing there?
Stories about the experimental sites and other activities
One of the most important vegetable crops in Brandenburg is asparagus. Brandenburg's sandy soil and climate provide excellent growing conditions and ensure a flavourful and fresh product. The Institute for Vegetable and Ornamental Crops in Brandenburg (IGZ) is now looking at life under asparagus.
Farmers in Brandenburg are also feeling the effects of the increasing drought in Germany. The local sandy soils store water only to a limited extent anyway. The Berge Agricultural Research Station is now investigating arable crops under rising temperatures and increasing drought under Brandenburg site conditions.
