7.) Sweet corn
The sweet corn is not a common plant in our economy, as it requires a great deal of attention and many nutrients, which are hard to provide under ecological conditions. It is sensitive to weeds, therefore weed control is an important task we can manage only mechanically and with moderate success. The most important pests are the European corn borer and the cotton leafworm; they harm the corn-ear with their nibbling and contaminate the crop yield. It can give rise to a serious deduction if the defense fails. Fortunately, researchers developed an effective defense, with which one can protect the crop well. We set the parasites of the above mentioned insects – the ichneumon flies – on the corn field and after their hatching those parasitize, the eggs of pests set the axe to the root of an evil.
Our average crop yields alternated between 7-10t/ha, with this crop yield man can reach a really exiguous profit. Because of the difficulties of irrigation also this branch was pushed into the background along with the hybrid corn.

8.) Sunflower for oil
The cultivation of organic sunflower differs little from the conventional cultivation. The most important difference is that it is forbidden to weed out the crop, so it pays to sow such hybrids that have a short breading season. A further basic rule is that man should observe a five-year crop rotation, so there is not often sunflower within an economy. Our average crop yields alternate between 1.5-2.2 t/ha, the technologies hide some reserves, so we should raise the level of cultivation according to our expectations. The most important task is to prevent the spread of weeds with cultivation work, with hoeing and with the preservation of good agricultural conditions.

9.) Pumpkin
Our company has not been growing pumpkin for several years now, as the few years ago erupted scandal put the branch in a very difficult position. Furthermore, the difficulties and the schedule of harvest keep us away from this plant. Also our average crop yields were not satisfactory, we achieved results between merely 50-350 kg/ha. So we can say that these results are low averages.
