Benefits by undersown seeds in grain legume pea: weed suppression, symbiotic N2 fixation and preceding crop effects of nitrogen in systems differentiating soil tillage (Project)

Growing pulses provides several benefits soil fertility. Most important is their ability for biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) and thus their important role for sustainable crop rotations. Loose-soil mulch husbandry (LSMH) and no-plough firm-soil mulch husbandry (FSMH) contribute to soil fertility by erosion control, stabilization of soil structure, and accumulation of soil organic matter. There...

QualiS: Development of a Quality Management System for Wood Chip Production. Subproject 2: Quality Management Systems für Wood Chip Production - Parameters and Variables (Project)

There has been a tightening recently for emission protection requirement in German regulation that puts heating systems using wood chips potentially under great pressure. Since quality parameters of wood chips like humidity and homogeneity of particles play an important rule for emission factors, quality assurance schemes are needed and have to be put into practice urgently. The project qualiS...

Collaborative project: Influence of different farrowing and rearing systems on animal welfare, animal health and economy in pig farming - an interdisciplinary approach. Subproject 2 (Project)

Animal welfare is becoming increasingly important for government and society. Important requirements are the integrity of the livestock and the opportunity of free movement through the different life periods of the animal. During lactation most of the sows are still fixed in farrowing crates. The confined housing system prevents sows from showing different behaviors during this time, like nesting...

Collaborative project: Optimizing the gap switching of an orchard sprayer as a pre condition for the accurate spraying of plant protection products - subproject 2 (Project)

As part of the three year project, the main focus was to reduce the use of plant protection products in intensive horticultural production systems for ecological and economical optimization. The aim should be pursued by developing sprayer prototypes equipped with improved sensory gap detection. During the project, three sprayers with different fan types were equipped with optimized sensors,...

Collaborative project: Definition, recording and optimization of parameters for electrical stunning of slaughter pigs under aspects of animal welfare and meat quality - subproject 2 (Project)

In the project to optimize the manual and fully-automated electrical stunning of slaughter pigs adverse effects to meat quality should be restricted by modifications of stun parameters while ensuring that legal and professional requirements on humane stunning (efficiency, duration) are met. The applied electrical charge, simultaneously investigated with animal-based indicators, should be...

Collaborative project: Measuring system for an automated early diagnosis of lameness in cattle through analysis of the sound of movement in cattle - subproject 2 (Project)

Animal welfare is one oft he most important quality indicators in livestock production for many consumers and of rapidly growing social relevance. Still measuring animal welfare can be quite difficult. An important factor for animal welfare in cattle farming is the detection of lameness, which is caused by diseases of the claws and limbs. The aim of this project is therefore to develop a system...

(Future Resources, Agriculture & Nature Conservation) Developing and testing appropriate measures in order to increase agrobiodiversity. Subproject 2 (Project)

The project F.R.A.N.Z. (Future Resources, Agriculture & Nature Conservation) seeks to develop economically viable and practicable measures in oder to significantly increase agrobiodiversity. The measures will be implemented and tested at ten farms on a nationwide basis. This project adopts a cooperative and dialogue-based approach and implements measures which reconcile both economic and...
