His specialist field is agricultural engineering. In summer 2019 he became one of two chief editors. Beside the production of the magazine, he is also responsible for the departments farming, agricultural engineering, new energy, farm life and livestock breeding.

Will the prices of soft commodities be tagged along with the commodity market or is there more behind it? How do we assess the global storage situation and how does the changed climate influence production and price development?

Maximum N efficiency due to a balanced plant nutrition!

Adrian Urban


Adrian Urban

Business Development Manager at the YARA GmbH & Co. KG. Adrian Urban is responsible for the business unit “Contractors” in Germany and the neighbouring countries.

At the moment there is a strong focus on fertilisation. Because of the statutory provisions as well as the price development of the past months agricultural farms face enormous challenges with regard to fertilisation.

Influence of nitrogen nutrition on the root growth of cultivated plants

Prof. Dr. Nicolaus von Wirén


Prof. Dr. Nicolaus von Wirén

Head of the department Physiology & Cell Biology at the IPK in Gatersleben. The department Physiology & Cell Biology examines how plants respond to abiotic stress factors such as drought or nutrient deficiency. This knowledge is then used to improve key heritable plant traits, including the efficiency of nutrient uptake by the roots, the depth of the root system and protection from damage caused by UV radiation or dehydration.

For several years, the focus has been on nutrient efficiency.
Can we manage to make better use of the nutrients in the soil and, thus, to become more fertiliser-efficient? Which basics are discussed by scientists?

Rape as a „cash crop“. Why was the rape yield disappointing in many places and how can it be stabilised in 2022?

Ference Cornis


Ferenc Kornis

Ferenc Kornis was born in Bavaria but grew up on the family farm in Hungary. Since 2013 he has been working as a consultant, and in 2021, he became the managing director of the N.U. Agrar GmbH and is responsible for the external organisation of the company. The focus of his counselling task mainly is on soybeans, sunflowers, maize, cereals, rape.

Rape cultivation plays a central role in the rotation of many farms. For economic reasons rape was more and more cultivated in tighter rotations in some regions of Central Europe. Beside a rotation that has been too tight for many years the disappearance of different crop care components makes things even worse for a successful rape cultivation.

What are new approaches and ideas to reduce plant protection technically?

Prof. Dr. Bernhard Bauer, HSWT Triesdorf


Prof. Dr. Bernhard Bauer

Prof. Dr. Bernhard Bauer studied at the University Hohenheim and did his doctor’s degree at the IPK. At the HSWT in Triesdorf he heads the departments plant production, plant protection and grassland as well as the biomass institute – a co-operation between the HSWT Triesdorf and the university Ansbach.

At the moment, plant protection is marked and shaped considerably by legal framework conditions. In his speech, Prof. Dr. Bernhard Bauer explains which technical and agronomic approaches can be taken to get closer to the reduction targets set by the politicians.

Live Panel Discussion | "Will cameras replace the human eye in the crop care sector?"

Dr. Jens König, Prof. Dr. Bernhard Bauer, Dr. Robin Mink, Theo Leeb


Dr. Jens König

Cameras with their recognition algorithms are more and more going to support the human eye in the crop care sector. But the best camera with the most accurate recognition algorithms alone does not take good agronomic decisions and does not guarantee good yields.


Dr. Robin Mink – co-founder and co-managing director of SAM-DIMENSION.com

In the future, the use of cameras in the crop care sector will become more and more important. It is essential that the focus when making decisions is on the farmer. Due to the mapping system of SAM-DIMENSION average herbicide savings of 40 to 70 % can be realised for sugar beets and maize.

Cort Brinkmann M. Sc. agr.

Partner and managing director of the LBB mbH and consultant for various economic questions in the agricultural sector

The intensity in the individual agricultural farms is considerably marked by their structure and the environment. How do the farms differ with regard to their cost structure and their labour intensity in Germany and in selected European countries?

Challenges of wheat breeding in the future. Which breeding objectives do you have to pursue in 2022 to be up to date in 2030?

Dr. Hubert Kempf, SECOBRA Saatzucht GmbH

Hubert Kempf
Hubert Kempf

Hubert Kempf studied agricultural sciences, plant production, at the University Hohenheim and did a doctor’s degree in plant production about variety mixtures of winter wheat. In 1991, he became wheat breeder and head of seed breeding at the Saatzucht Schweiger company. Since 2007 he has been responsible for wheat breading at the SECOBRA Saatzucht company, at the same time he is head of the branch at the Feldkirchen Moosburg site.

The breeding objectives are a very long-term process and require a lot of foresight to meet the future conditions. Wheat breeding, too, has to prepare for the following, currently foreseeable developments/problem areas and adapt their breeding objectives for 2030 accordingly:

  • Reduction of plant protection agents
  • Reduction of fertiliser use – lower protein content = lower quality?
  • Increase of organic farming to 30% - separate organic breeding with special breeding objectives
  • Drier and warmer vegetation periods because of climate change – heat and drought stress

In many cases, wheat breeding provides potential solutions (breeding for resistance, better protein quality, organic quality, varieties that are more resistant to heat and drought stress) for the developments/problem areas mentioned and already today has to prepare for it with the relevant breeding objectives it has to work on.

Experiences with biological crop care at a conventional, large Brazilian farm. From the propagation of microorganisms to the securing of yields.

Bruno Reinhofer (Brazil)


Bruno Reinhofer

Final degree in Agricultural Engineering at the Federal University of Paraná. Since 2007 he has been working in the Reinhofer group together with his father Eduardo, his brother Robert and his mother Hildegardt who is responsible for the social sector of the company. In 2005 he completed his degree in Business Management at the Positivo University in Curitiba - Paraná.

Biological plant protection is well-established on the farm of Bruno Reinhofer. New effective preparations are examined and developed in the farm-owned laboratory. The reproduction of microorganisms, too, is carried out in-house on a larger scale. Due to this kind of crop care optimisation considerable savings are achieved.
