The social pressure on farmers to cultivate their fields in a more ecologically compatible way is therefore increasing. Weed researcher Lena Ulber tries to mediate as part of her work. This often happens very specifically in projects in which the scientists of the JKI carry out experiments on fields together with the farmers and check which measures for plant protection can be implemented. Ulber reports that the discussions are usually less tense than one would expect. Farmers have also now recognised that something needs to change in agriculture to ensure the preservation of biodiversity. \u201cHowever, two very different expectations meet here: on the one hand, the view of agriculture, which understandably wants to produce on its land, and on the other hand, the expectation of society and politics that this should happen in an environmentally friendly and biodiversity-promoting way,\u201d explains the weed researcher. It is therefore important to remain in dialogue and to look together at which measures are feasible and have an effect and which are not. Ulber thinks it is wrong to simply blame the farmers for the loss of biodiversity. \u201cThis must be seen as a task for society as a whole. There are many actors who have to become active and you can&#8217;t simply expect agriculture to make a 180-degree turn,\u201d says the scientist.         <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"wp-image-4208\" src=\"https:\/\/www.forschungregion.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Littmann_JKI-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.forschungregion.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Littmann_JKI-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.forschungregion.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Littmann_JKI-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.forschungregion.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Littmann_JKI-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.forschungregion.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Littmann_JKI-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.forschungregion.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Littmann_JKI-2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Weed research in the greenhouse of the Julius K\u00fchn Institute in Braunschweig.

These include, for example, herbicides, i.e. chemical agents that act against weeds. They are the focus of Ulber&#8217;s research. Herbicides act specifically against certain weeds and thus reduce their density in the field. This in turn leads to a decline in biodiversity, because \u201cweeds form the basis in the agricultural ecosystem. They are the most important link in the system because they can fulfil many different functions,\u201d says Ulber. Weeds can provide habitat and food for animals and insects and are therefore of great importance for many other groups of organisms in this agricultural ecosystem.      <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>At the same time, however, some weeds massively damage the crops and, as a result, reduce the yield. So it doesn&#8217;t seem to work entirely without chemical plant protection products. However, they could be supplemented and partially replaced by many other measures, which would also prevent resistance, says Ulber. Possible steps could be the increase in non-chemical measures, such as changing crop rotations, mechanical weed control and more intensive tillage. However, one would then also have to take a much closer look at the areas and see what is feasible: \u201cFor example, does mechanical weed control make sense here? Can I plough here because the area has no slope. It becomes more complex for the farmer, as he has to choose from the many measures the one that shows a high level of effectiveness for his field,\u201d explains Ulber.    <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"wp-image-4209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.forschungregion.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Scherb_JKI-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.forschungregion.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Scherb_JKI-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.forschungregion.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Scherb_JKI-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.forschungregion.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Scherb_JKI-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.forschungregion.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Scherb_JKI-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.forschungregion.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Scherb_JKI-2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Lena Ulber particularly loves the variety in her job: First she collects samples on the research field and then the collected data is evaluated and interpreted in the laboratory.

Politics is also called upon here, for example by linking EU agricultural aid to the provision of ecological public services by farmers &#8211; \u201ca kind of premium system\u201d. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You can find out how Lena Ulber also deals with weeds in her own garden and why she speaks of weeds and not wild herbs in this second episode of \u201cForsch\u201d.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><em>The podcast \u201cForsch! \u2013 Science in an Interview\u201d is a cooperation between the ForschungRegion Braunschweig and the Braunschweiger Zeitung.
