Biodynamic Preparations: Biostimulants for Soil and Compost?
A recent extensive study conducted by an Italian team (Piccolo et al., 2026) examines the biochemical and microbiological properties of biodynamic…
Soil strategies against climate stress
Impressive findings from the DOK long-term trial
Soil development takes time – results of a long-term study in India
Healthy soils are invaluable for agriculture. They develop slowly, but degrade rapidly if managed improperly. This study examines the long-term…
How humus influences our soil climate
Humus is good for soil health. But why is that? What exactly is humus, how is it formed and what functions does humus perform in the soil? In a review…
Food as a remedy for soil and people
Healthy food can only be produced in living soil. Biodynamic agriculture has many positive effects, one of which is humus formation. The soil…
Biodynamic agriculture promotes stable soil ecosystems
This study deals with the complex interactions in soils of different agricultural systems. For this purpose, various fertilizers were applied to…
DOK trial: Comprehensive publication after 45 years of field experiments
In-depth look: Effects of the biodynamic preparation BD500 on the quality of grapes
How do the biodynamic spray preparation BD500 and soil microvariability affect vines and grapes? Pierluigi Mazzei wants to answer this research…
Science clearly supports biodynamic agriculture
The results of the long-term DOK trial
In-depth: Biodynamic preparations can help to reduce salt stress in lavender
An increased salt content in the soil impairs plant growth. But can agricultural practices mitigate this effect? A team of Iranian researchers…
Fungal networks in vineyards - Biodynamics increases soil fertility
How do different agricultural systems influence grapevines and wine quality? Ana Aguilar-Paredes et al. analysed fungal networks in Chilean vineyards…
Copper and carbon: long-term effects in biodynamic viticulture
In a 2020 research study, Hendgen et al. investigate the long-term effects of viticulture on physical and chemical soil parameters. They compared the…
