Development of new, broad Fusarium resistances in wheat to meet the specific challenges of current bio-energy crop rotations (Project)
An important aim of the EU Directive 2009/28/EG ('Erneuerbare-Energien') is the marked increase of bioethanol as a petrol substitute by local plant production until 2020. For a balanced bio-energy crop rotation wheat is an interesting crop, because in addition to the bioethanol production the stillage is an important by-product that is used as high-protein animal feed. In addition to the loss of...

Significance of potential vectors of stolbur phytoplasmas to grapevine and potato in Germany and Hungary (Project)
Stolbur-phytoplasmas are important pathogens in agriculture and field crops like potato and corn. The most important vector is Hyalesthes obsoletus. Beside this planthopper, other species of the families Cixiidae and Cicadellidae are proved or suspected vectors of stolbur-phytoplasmas, which they transmit from wild reservoirs to cultivated plants. There is evidence of a variable role of different...

Investigation of the droplet disruption during the production of particle-loaded emulsions using a model system (Project)
In a project together with the Institute of Process Engineering in Life Sciences (KIT, Karlsruhe), the droplet breakup of particle-loaded emulsions is studied by the use of a 3-phase model system (particle /oil/water). The influence of various process and material parameters (eg shear rate, disperse phase content, particle load, contact angle) on the droplet breakup in a defined shear flow and...

Phytase production by solid state fermentation and enzyme immobilisation by spray drying (Project)
Phytases are a special group of phosphatases, that are added to pig and poultry feed in order to make the organically-bound phosphate available to the animals. In recent years phytases became interesting for application in food processing. A reduction in the phytate content of plant-based food result in an improvement of mineral bioavailability. Furthermore, phytases can be used in the production...

Biodiversity in steep slope viticulture - Interactions between steep slopes and biodiversity management under consideration of securing resources (Project)
Interactions between cultivation and biodiversity in steep slope viticulture are investigated and indicators for long-term monitoring activities are identified. The associated biodiversity of selected taxa is studied with respect to intensity and quality of the viticultural practice. The influence of habitat management strategies to reduce the infection pressure by grapevine pathogens on the...

Peatland protection in Germany (Project)
The project aims at the development of guidelines to evaluate and optimise the ecosystem services of peatland protection projects. The “peatland protection compendium” helps to identify synergies and conflicts between biodiversity, climate protection, water quality, recreation and production.

WASCAL (West African Science Service Center on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use). Work Package 1.1 Development of a Regional Climate Model System for West Africa (Project)
The development of reliable strategies for an adapted land management that can cope with climate change in West Africa requires a detailed analysis of the feedback mechanisms between the components of the land surface and the atmosphere. However, the process descriptions of land surface – atmosphere interactions are poorly represented in atmospheric models and state-of-the-art models cannot be...

WASCAL (West African Science Service Center on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use). Work Package 1.2 Seasonal Climate and Regional Weather Forecasts (Project)
Many studies in the field of weather and climate predictions demonstrated the benefit of weather and climate information if this information is used for decision making. Currently, one of the most important sources of information used by West African policy makers is seasonal climate and weather forecasts. This information can help end users in different socio-economic sectors such as...
