Abstract
The production of Galician bread demands the increase of the production of autochthonous wheat in the community and its management in ecological conditions is one of two basic aspects in a circular economy with low inputs. A wide diversity of Galician ecotypes and their conservation in Galicia allowed us to have a differentiated genetic base, local and adapted to the environment. The management of the crop in ecological conditions is a challenge, for which the experience and the technology must guarantee the cost effectiveness in the face of the greater difficulties to maintain or yield synthetic fertilizers and with the phytosanitary control limited to the authorized products.To carry out the agronomic and productive evaluation of organic ‘Caaveiro’ wheat vs. conventional, a test plot was established in Carral (A Coruña). The design of the plot followed a random block design with 4 repetitions, ‘Caaveiro’ wheat, lupin and spelt were sowed following ecological and conventional practices, prior soil analysis to define previous fertilization. The results showed that organic production was 30% lower than conventional management, mainly due to the difficulty in controlling weeds and the limitation of restrictions on the application of fertilizers and phytosanitary products.
