During 2002-2005, Norwegian seed yields of meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis Huds.) were 52% lower in organic than in conventional seed production. The difference was most conspicuous in ley year 1, suggesting that seed crop establishment is a limiting factor in organic seed production. Meadow fescue is usually underseeded in a cover crop of spring wheat or spring barley, and many organic growers delay the underseeding until after harrowing for weed control. Our objectives were (1) to determine whether organic seed crops of meadow fescue should be underseeded in the same operation as, or immediately after, the cover crop (implying no harrowing for weed control); or if they should be underseeded in conjunction with, or just after, weed harrowing (on average nine days after the cover crop); and (2) to compare the establishment of meadow fescue seed crops without cover crop or in cover crops of spring barley, spring wheat, peas or green fodder (barley + peas). On average for all cover crops and four trials, first year"s seed yields of meadow fescue were 11 % lower for crops seeded after weed harrowing than for crop seeded immediately after the cover crop. Weed harrowing combined with delayed seeding also resulted in more scentless mayweed (Tripleurospérmum inodórum) and other weeds in ley year 1. Despite less plant-available nitrogen in spring, seed crops underseeded just after the cover crop were more lodged than crops underseeded after weed harrowing. On average for the two seeding dates, the highest seed yield were produced from crops seeded in pure stand and from crops that had been underseeded in green fodder and received an extra 30 kg N ha-1 in manure shortly after green fodder harvest in late July. The results suggest that seed crops of meadow fescue need ample supply of light, water and nutrients in August to produce a good seed yield in ley year 1.

The objective of the ongoing study is to obtain new knowledge to provide a fundament for improving weed harrowing in organic cereal production as well as optimising weed harrowing as an alternative for herbicides in conventional farming. Results from field experiments on three locations during three years will be presented and discussed. The experiments included the factors: a) different manufactures of spring tine weed harrows, type of tines and used with different aggressiveness (adjusted through tine working depth and speed); b) cereal developmental stages; and c) soil types (locations) and conditions as well as weed infestation levels. The project included new experimental equipment including a specially constructed 1.5 meter wide harrow, which made it possible to treat many small sub-plots. Cereal yield and quality, number and dry matter weight (biomass) of weeds, and soil water content, soil share strength, and soil penetration resistance were recorded. The resulting intensity of the harrowing operation was measured using digital pictures taken before and after harrowing to give an estimate of cereal coverage of the soil. Pre-emergence harrowing and harrowing at early 1-leaf crop stage reduced in general weed number and biomass compared to untreated control. The mean weed reduction over locations and years was about 40%, but this reduction was not always significant different to control plots. In one year, harrowing at those early stages gave an increase in weed number and biomass, presumably because of rainy weather after harrowing. In general, pre-emergence harrowing and harrowing at early 1-leaf stage increased crop yield compared to untreated, but harrowing at such stages occasionally also resulted in small yield reductions. We conclude, however, that this early harrowing should be carried out every year. Weed harrowing once, either at 2 or 3-4 crop leaf stages, also gave decreased weed number and biomass, but no clear influence on cereal yield. Therefore, harrowing at these late stages is an opportunity, if weather conditions do not allow weed harrowing at earlier stages. The combination of pre-emergence harrowing and harrowing at 3-4 leaf stage gave a significant reduction of weed number and biomass compared to untreated control. In general, harrowing twice gave increased crop yields, but the differences were only significant at one of the locations. The potential benefit of a second harrowing at the 3-4 leaf stage depends on the weed situation, number and biomass, as well as crop competitiveness. Our results have indicated that the threshold for weed harrowing may be around 300 annual weeds m-2, but more knowledge is needed for verifying the level of total number and species. If the number of weeds is less, weed harrowing twice gives a significant reduction in weed number, but not an increase in yield compared to only one weed harrowing at an early growth stage. Furthermore, our results indicate that the different types of harrows and tines will not work properly on all soil types. On light soils, all of them gave satisfying results. However, a normal tine (" 7mm bent Einböck or a " 10mm long straight CMN) is not rigid enough on soil types that build a soil crust after rain. An " 8mm bend Einböck tine, however, was better at breaking a soil crust and thereby improve cereal plant emergence on such soils. On the other hand, it is important not to adjust such tines too aggressive when no crust is present. Another trial showed that a straight tine will pick up less stones on stony soils than a bent one will do, stones which might damage the combiner during combining. Our results from one of the locations (medium light soil with stones) showed that yield as well as reductions in weed number or biomass m-2 was not affected by tine type.

Relatively large declines in SOM have been found since 1952 at Kise Research Station and also since 1990 on many arable fields. There was little indication that SOM is now becoming stabilized. In both cases declines were greatest at high initial SOM levels. Several factors may have caused the declines, including more intensive tillage, lower use of leys and higher soil temperature. Two simple models suggest that soils with current SOM levels of 4%, 6% and 10%, respectively, may be expected to reach a possibly `critically" low level (3%) either in 80, 165 and 230 years (`one tenth" model) or in 30, 70 and 120 years (`fixed 1%" model).
