However, changes in the climate with long, dry periods of heat in summer are forcing measures to be taken to prevent crop failures. A lack of rainfall and increasing pest pressure pose challenges for fruit growers. However, some of the countermeasures lead to increased greenhouse gas releases, such as the additional application of fertilisers and pesticides as well as artificial irrigation. Added to this: In Brandenburg, the proportion of organic tree fruit cultivation is increasing &#8211; it currently stands at around 32 per cent. Chemical pesticides and inorganic fertilisers are excluded here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biochar instead of more fertiliser<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is where the planned AppleCoal project comes in: The aim is to reduce artificial irrigation, fertilisation and the use of pesticides. One way to achieve this is through biochar. This is produced in the project from the green waste from the orchards and other plant residues. In the AppleCoal project, this is to be enriched through co-composting and the charcoal, incorporated into the plantation soil near the tree roots, will lead to an improvement in the soil in terms of water storage capacity, microbial diversity and nutrient availability. The biochar remains in the soil for some time &#8211; up to 100 years -, stores water and releases the stored nutrients for a certain period of time.<br \/>\nIn addition to the project partner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lvga-bb.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt f\u00fcr Gartenbau und Arboristik (LVGA),<\/a> the practice partner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.b3-bornim.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B3 Projektbetreuung GmbH (B3)<\/a> will also be involved in the project.<br \/>\nDiscover more projects: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilu-ev.de\/en\/projects-running\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Projects &#8211; Institute for Food and Environmental Research e.V.
