Integration of the fodder legume sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia) in crop rotations of organic agriculture (Project)

Field trials with five sainfoin cultivars as well as lucerne were carried out partly on four sites in southern Northrhine - Westphalia during 2003 to 2006. The objective of the experiments was to gain experience with the organic cultivation of sainfoin, an old fodder legume known for low yields but a high feeding value, particularly for horses. Crop development, dry matter yield and hay quality...

Reduce dangerous alkaloids in the food chain through the improvement of breeding resistance ergot of rye (Project)

Rye as an outcrossing crop is highly susceptible to ergot (Clavipceps purpurea). Black-purple sclerotia are formed instead of kernels after infection. Aims of this study were (1) to evaluate genetic resources for effective resistance donors, (2) to examine the, inheritance of resistance in self-fertile rye material and (3) to analyse the interaction of host genotypes and ergot concerning the...

Detailed analysis of data on consumer purchasing behaviour for organic products (Project)

The objective of the project was to analyse in detail data on consumer purchasing behaviour for organic products in 2003. These data concerned the purchases of private households from a monthly trend study within a consumer panel. In an upstream screening survey the attitudes of consumers and their self-assessed buying behaviour was investigated. The linked evaluation of the data with the...

Generation of infectious clones of Wheat dwarf virus for use in resistance testing (Project)

WDV can be transmitted only by plant leaf hoppers. Consequently, resistance testing is faced with the problem of standardisation. A method will be developed to use infectious clones of both forms of the virus for infection. Success of infection by means of infectious clones will be compared to conventional methods.In addition, sequence data will be used to further improve diagnostics of the virus.

Systems of cropping energy plants - impacts on soil microbial properties and soil carbon dynamics (Project)

1) to determine quantitative and qualitative changes in soil carbon pools following cultivation of energy crops; 2) to access the microbial biomass (Cmic) and community structure (fungi-to-bacteria ratios), as well as microbial activity (basal and specific, qCO2, respiration) under the studied cropping systems; 3) to compare selective inhibition technique (SI) and phospholipids fatty acids...
