[QUOTE="Simon Chiles, post: 6954033, member: 1233"] Prof Martin Wolfe used to start his talk on agroforestry by talking about how the East German farmers grew three varieties of barley to cut down on the fungicide use/spend. His graph showed that the area increased exponentially until the Berlin Wall came down. Then the West German farmers bought all the cheap land and because they had the money to spend on the fungicides the idea got abandoned. I used to grow 4 varieties of wheat in a blend and it would successfully produce high yields with a much reduced fungicide spend. The only reason I stopped doing it was because I’m now concentrating on seed production otherwise I’d still be doing it if I was growing either a group 2 or 4 wheat. [/QUOTE]
