Organ cultivation

As wilh food plants, so also with medicinal plants, it is not possible to cultivate them vvillioul making use of plant protection products because of the expense, organic cultivation is only possible on a small scale (in a garden) - or one accepts the risk of severe to very severe attacks by pests.

Organic farming systems rely more on mechanical weed control and in certain crops on considerably more intensive soil tillage as the use of synthetic herbicides is prohibited. This can have negative effects on other key species of soil meso-fauna, i.e. a reduction of population of Collembola with organic cultivation (Krogh 1994).

A luciferase is an enzyme that catalyzes chemiluminescence. This property is widespread in marine environments (particularly deep-sea), in which many higher organisms cultivate specific bacteria for the production of light. All known bacterial luciferases are homologous. Although this enzyme has been... 

Subsequently, a considerable increase in the organically cultivated area was observed. Despite this substantial increase in subsidies for arable and pig farms, the majority of converting farms were dairy farms - mainly in response to market forces. In the case of pig farms, it is very likely that a fairly strict limitation of livestock density after conversion has restricted the number of converting farms.
