Biologischer Weinbau

This book presents the scientific and practical basis of organic winegrowing. The main topics are soil and soil management on the one hand (planting management and systems, mechanisation and tillage), and plant care on the other. The ecological principles of species diversity and natural regulatory mechanisms (pests and useful organisms) are illustrated for practical applications, with the aid of examples. With this book, winegrowers, consultants and scientists will have a comprehensive overview of the possibilities offered by organic winegrowing and, not least, an indispensible guide for all questions on adapting management methods accordingly.

Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Uwe Hofmann ist seit 1993 Geschäftsführer des Beratungsbüros "ECO-CONSULT - Internationale Beratung im ökologischen Weinbau" und beratend tätig in Europa und Übersee.
