Conversion to organic field vegetable production

Our aim

- to provide information on the agronomic and economic performance during conversion from conventional systems to organic systems with field vegetables.

This work was begun (as DEFRA funded project OF0126T) in 1996. The first phase of the project was completed in 2000 and the second phase (DEFRA funded Project OF0191) in 2004.

More information on the background and approach for this project here.

The final report from the Conversion to Organic Field Vegetable Production Project (OF0191) submitted to Defra is available here (396kb pdf file)

The appendix to the report which contains tables and charts on crop yields, gross margins, nutrient budgets and economic performance of crop sequences is here (290kb pdf file)
