Fact Sheet
- Challenge Tackled
- The topic of insect mortality is now well known in politics and the population. But many municipalities do not yet take into account that the mowing technique, time and type of mowing can also make a decisive contribution to protecting the insects that are still present. In addition, the biodiversity of an area can be significantly increased with site-adapted mowing.
- Target group, beneficiaries or clients
- Flora and fauna. Insect populations and the people who want to protect them.
- Solution
- Significantly fewer insects are crushed with our particularly gentle sickle bar mowing technology and techniques like strip mowing with a time delay. Thanks to our technology, we can also manage very steep or damp locations and remove the material in the sense of reducing the nutrients on the area.
- Innovation
- We have the ecological knowledge to plan a sensible management of nature conservation areas, roadsides or other community areas and to implement this with our special technology.
- Unique Selling Point
- The serious decline in insect populations by over 70 percent shows that something urgently needs to be done to protect our biodiversity.
- Impact
- With a good long-term management of the area like we offer, not only can the insects and amphibians currently living there be protected, but general biodiversity can also be increased.
- Feasibility/Transferability
- The demand for insect-friendly mowing has increased more and more in recent years. In cooperation with the landscape conservation association of the district, NABU and many different communities, many meadows are developing very positively with the help of our mowing technology.
