Wicker rye is planted in autumn and mulched in spring. Slots are cut in the mulch for seeds. The mulch protects soil, promotes soil life, and enhances water absorption, helping crops survive droughts with less yield loss.
- Humus build-up
- Water retention and efficiency
- Prevention of erosion by wind and run-off
- minimizing water evaporation
- Promotion of soil life
- Increase in water absorption in the soil
- Saving of groundwater
- Floor construction
This innovation addresses heavy precipitation / pluvial floods, droughts, heatwaves, storm/high winds speeds, and soil erosion.

Groundwater is currently being withdrawn massively for irrigation of crops, which could be reduced to a minimum.
The improved soil structure increases the water absorption capacity enormously.
Heavy rain can be absorbed in minutes and is added to the soil balance(massively increased earthworm burrows).
Covering the ground with mulch reduces evaporation by up to 90%.
The mulch is created on the fields on site. The new cultivation method would not bring in any non-local materials.
So far only a prototype of this seeding unit has been developed. There is still no experience in the economic cultivation of sugar beet in the near-natural mulch system. This would be the first innovation. Südzucker would take over the yield analysis and provide technical support for the project.

This innovation addresses heavy precipitation / pluvial floods, droughts, heatwaves, storm/high winds speeds, and soil erosion.
The main components of the system have been tested separately, and an initial integration exercise has been conducted.
