| Location of farm in Hungary | László Lévai who runs a 75ha arable farm in Kompolt | |
In Hungary SmartSOIL partner Andras Molnar spoke to László Lévai who runs a 75ha arable (winter wheat, rape, sunflowers) farm in Kompolt. The soil is loam with some sandy areas prone to drought and heat stress during summer. He applies manure and recycles crop residues in order to improve the soil structure. He also tries to minimise tillage operations to protect the soil, so when conditions he uses a subsoiler instead of a plough. These practices contribute to better soil functioning, which leads to better yields overall. For more details see below
