There is also increasing market demand for varieties of potato that are resistant to certain diseases.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the Emsland Group has begun to develop seed potatoes. In our own series of tests, our experts try to find varieties that demonstrate disease resistance, whereby the most successful varieties will be included in the portfolio. The focus is to find those varieties that are resistant to certain diseases. Good yields in connection with low sugar levels during storage are other important elements of the successful cultivation of seed potatoes We already supply a large part of the required seed potatoes.<\/p>\n<p>Genetically modified plants are prohibited in Germany and we do not use them because we do not believe they are beneficial for us.<\/p>\n<p>It is necessary to learn about new findings and trends in the agricultural sector in order to manage monoculture farming in such a way that it keeps the ecosystems intact for the long term. In this area, the Emsland Group cooperates with research institutes, for example with the HLB (research and consultancy in agriculture) in the Netherlands, which specialize in crop protection, pest management and soil health.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rohstoffeinkauf-III_zuschnitt.jpg\" alt=\"\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/024_Emslandsta%CC%88rke_berndhempen-fotografie_Web_01.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<h2>\n<p>THE POWERFUL PEA PLANT<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<div>\n<p>The cultivation of legumes has numerous positive effects on soil health. Legumes have special properties and form an important building block of sustainable agriculture when used as part of crop rotation. In the subsequent stages of production, the pea, for example, can be wholly and completely utilized. This closes loops and conserves resources. Interested in becoming a supplier?

There is also increasing market demand for varieties of potato that are resistant to certain diseases.<\\\/p>\\n\n\n<p>Therefore, the Emsland Group has begun to develop seed potatoes. In our own series of tests, our experts try to find varieties that demonstrate disease resistance, whereby the most successful varieties will be included in the portfolio. The focus is to find those varieties that are resistant to certain diseases. Good yields in connection with low sugar levels during storage are other important elements of the successful cultivation of seed potatoes We already supply a large part of the required seed potatoes.<\\\/p>\\n\n\n<p>Genetically modified plants are prohibited in Germany and we do not use them because we do not believe they are beneficial for us.<\\\/p>\\n\n\n<p>It is necessary to learn about new findings and trends in the agricultural sector in order to manage monoculture farming in such a way that it keeps the ecosystems intact for the long term. In this area, the Emsland Group cooperates with research institutes, for example with the HLB (research and consultancy in agriculture) in the Netherlands, which specialize in crop protection, pest management and soil health.<\\\/p>\",\"margin\":\"default\"}}]},{\"type\":\"column\",\"props\":{\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"media_overlay_gradient\":\"\",\"position_sticky_breakpoint\":\"m\",\"vertical_align\":\"middle\",\"width_medium\":\"1-2\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"image\",\"props\":{\"class\":\"\",\"image\":\"wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/Rohstoffeinkauf-III_zuschnitt.jpg\",\"image_height\":\"100%\",\"image_svg_color\":\"emphasis\",\"image_svg_inline\":false,\"image_width\":\"100%\",\"margin\":\"default\"}}]}],\"props\":{\"column_gap\":\"large\",\"divider\":false,\"layout\":\"1-2,1-2\"}}],\"name\":\"Image Text\"},{\"type\":\"section\",\"props\":{\"class\":\"\",\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"padding\":\"xlarge\",\"padding_remove_top\":true,\"preserve_color\":false,\"style\":\"default\",\"title_breakpoint\":\"xl\",\"title_position\":\"top-left\",\"title_rotation\":\"left\",\"vertical_align\":\"middle\",\"width\":\"default\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"row\",\"children\":[{\"type\":\"column\",\"props\":{\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"media_overlay_gradient\":\"\",\"position_sticky_breakpoint\":\"m\",\"vertical_align\":\"middle\",\"width_medium\":\"1-2\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"image\",\"props\":{\"class\":\"\",\"image\":\"wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/024_Emslandsta\\u0308rke_berndhempen-fotografie_Web_01.jpg\",\"image_height\":\"100%\",\"image_svg_color\":\"emphasis\",\"image_svg_inline\":false,\"image_width\":\"100%\",\"margin\":\"default\"}}]},{\"type\":\"column\",\"props\":{\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"media_overlay_gradient\":\"\",\"position_sticky_breakpoint\":\"m\",\"vertical_align\":\"middle\",\"width_medium\":\"1-2\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"headline\",\"props\":{\"content\":\"\n\n<p>THE POWERFUL PEA PLANT<\\\/p>\",\"title_element\":\"h2\"}},{\"type\":\"text\",\"props\":{\"column_breakpoint\":\"m\",\"content\":\"\n\n<p>The cultivation of legumes has numerous positive effects on soil health.
