'Collaborative project: Development of a control module for automatic guidance of robot scrapers, devices for cleaning and scattering cubicles as well as selfdrive mixer feeders – Subproject 2' (Project)

The intention of the project is to develop a universal control module for automatic machine guidance in the field of indoor livestock systems and to install this module for exemplary use cases on specially designed platforms for manure removal from floors, cleaning and scattering of cubicles and for submission of roughage/concentrate mixtures. All this will be tested under compliance of the work...

WASCAL (West African Science Service Center on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use). Work Package 2.6 Status of biodiversity as Indicator for Ecosystem Resilience in West Africa (Project)

This WP aims to evaluate spatially explicit the status of biodiversity at landscape level and use this as an indicator for ecosystem resilience in West Africa. The spatial distribution of plant species richness as a proxy for biodiversity is statistically modelled applying different modeling approaches based on species distribution data. Moreover, the actual status of habitats and their potential...

Collaborative project: LEDs in plant illumination systems based on PAR (Photosynthetic Active Radiation) to improve the efficiency of in vitro and in vivo production protocols – Subproject 2 (Project)

The development and testing of LED lighting systems is aiming at lowering the energy demands in climate chambers and greenhouses. LEDs could contribute to the increase of energy efficiency of plant cultures. Results: – Development of innovative methods of illumination by LED for in vitro laboratories as a technique saving energy and to preserve the environment. – Increase of energy efficiency in...

Collaborative project: use of RADOLAN surgery, hourly rainfall totals with radar data on the regionalization of the precipitation parameter in crop protection and plant production - Subproject 2 (Project)

Infections of leaves by plant diseases depend on a high degree on leaf wetness duration. Measured leaf wetness is often not available. An alternative method to obtain information about the leaf wetness is the simulation, using standard meteorological data. Furthermore frequent spatially and temporally limited rainfalls (convective rainfall event) often slip through the meteorological network in...

Collaborative project: Acoustic resonance analysis for quality detection of horticultural products – using the example of hollow white asparagus and mealy pome and stone fruit – Subproject 2 (Project)

The objective of this project is the development of an automated online sensing system for reliable and non-destructive classification of hollow white asparagus, mealy apples and woolly peaches. Specific quality determination will be realized on the basis of acoustic resonance analysis. After acquisition of acoustic fingerprints and the development of algorithms the assessment by comparing...

Collaborative project: Development of biocontrol measures for the biological degradation of fungal inoculum orginated from cereal and rape debris using the fungal antagonist Microsphaeropsis ochracea – Subproject 2 (Project)

Closer crop rotations with cereals and oilseed rape combined with reduced soil tillage has led to accumulation of inoculum of soil- and straw-borne pathogens in the upper soil layer. This increases the use of fungicides. In a collaboration of the University of Goettingen and PROPHYTA we investigated the potential of biological degradation of soil- and straw-bound inocula of major pathogens of...

Analytical-biochemical and molecular investigations for research aimed at the improvement of flavour quality of resistant apple cultivars - Part 2: Human sensory, aroma analytics and metabolic research (Project)

Fruit flavour (or aroma) is a biochemically and genetically complex trait, which has been considered to date as a difficult feature to improve by traditional breeding. Apple fruit volatiles determining the typical flavour of a specific cultivar considerably affect its sensory quality and its economic value. The pattern of fruit volatiles is often negatively influenced in resistance breeding...

Collaborative project: Development and field test of a planter for sustainable reduction of the risk of the ecosystem and the user through dress powder - Sub-project 2 (Project)

Within the scope of the project, sources of seed dressing dust and drift were studied on a pneumatic seed drill with compressed air conveying system. First, the current drift reduction of a market-ready machine was determined according to the methods of the Julius Kuehn Institute. Based on this, studies on dust generation and dust release were carried out. The results show that even with...
