New analysis by EcoStack, working with AgZero+ and Rothamsted Research, shows that yield losses extend up to 25 metres from field edges, affecting around 30.5% of a typical 9-hectare field. The research found that environmental factors such as wetness and shading play a key role in these losses. In bean crops, greater yield reductions were seen on [...]

The section “Knowledge Bank” is now online on the EcoStack website under the Resource Hub. This knowledge bank was developed within EcoStack EU-Project that can help farmers, policy makers, and advisors with useful information concerning production strategies enhancing sustainability of food production systems across Europe.

EcoStack researchers need YOU! Please share your #ield monitor data to help us understand the effects of field boundary features and the services they provide to mitigte yield decline at the crop edge https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=165&v=wagwR7wW1fc&feature=emb_logo [...]

The EcoStack project is investigating how landscape features such as hedgerows or wildflowers benefits on-farm biodiversity and crop yield. We are asking farmers for yield monitor data from GPS-enabled combines. The data will help us to determine how landscape features found just beyond the field affects variation in crop yield, and whether yield d [...]

EcoStack, a 5-year Research and Innovation Action, under the EU Horizon 2020 programme, has started on September 10, 2018, and includes 24 partners with complementary expertise, covering all major pedoclimatic production zones and major agricultural production systems in Europe. The overall goal of the project is to develop and support ecologicall [...]
