Characterisation and Use of Bacterial Quorum Sensing Molecules for the Development of Environmentally Sound Plant Production Measures (Project)

The activation and strengthening of the plant's immune system is a promising alternative in crop protection. The concept includes a sensitization (priming) of the crops against pathogens, which ensures a high crop yield under high pressure from pathogens. Bacterial quorum sensing molecules have the ability to improve plant growth and development and therefore provide a possible complement to the...

SFB 564: A1.1 - Potential and constraints of participatory research approaches for sustainable development in mountainous regions of Southeast Asia (Project)

Research in this project area is directed at the process of cooperation between researchers, farmers and local institutions (A1) and between researchers of different disciplines and cultural backgrounds (A2). Subproject A1 aims at evaluating the concept of integrating farmers into the research process. In this phase of the SFB the subproject intends to assess the potential and limits of...

SFB 564: A1.2 - Potential and constraints of participatory research approaches for sustainable development in mountainous regions of Southeast Asia (Project)

In this overreaching subproject potentials and limits of participatory research approaches shall be investigated. Institutional prerequisites that are appropriate to integrate local stakeholders (female and male farmers, extension services, state agencies and NGOs) into the research process will be developed and tested. Research will focus on the questions, which form and intensity of...

Plasticizing substances from food packaged in glass containers with metal lids - analytics and exposition (Project)

To tighten the metallic lids against the glass jars sealing gaskets are used. The gasket consist of a polymer and contains plasticizers like ESBO or phthalates. This substances can migrate from the gasket into the packed food. However, just a few data are available for an exposure estimation of the migrated plasticizers. This project has the objective to estimate the exposure to plasticizing...

SFB 564: B2.4 - Probabilistic assessment of the environmental fate of agrochemicals under varying land use in a watershed in Northern Thailand (Project)

This subproject aims at assessing the impact of different land use and management options on the loss of agrochemicals from the Mae Sa watershed together with the respective uncertainties. For this purpose, the SWAT model will be coupled with the multi-agent model operated by G1. The results, essentially pesticide loads and concentrations as well as the effectiveness of reduction strategies...

SFB 564: B5.2 - Transport of agrochemicals in a watershed in Northern Vietnam (Project)

In North Vietnam, lowland and upland paddy rice production systems are a major source of agrochemical pollution to surface and ground water. Subproject B5.2 aims at measuring and modeling the water regime and transport of agrochemicals in integrated farming systems in the Chieng Khoi watershed, Son La province. Modeling will be used for evaluating the risk and potential of water pollution across...

Investigation of metabolites of the tobacco specific nitrosamine NNK, acrylamide and acrolein in urine of smokers of waterpipes (Project)

The use of waterpipes increased recently among the youth in Germany. The knowledge about health hazards is very limited. Beside the metabolites of polycyclic aromatic hydrocar-bons the tobacco-specific nitrosamines as well as acrylamide and Acrolein play an important role in the toxicology of cigarette smoke. Nothing is known about these compounds in the smoke of waterpipes. The urine of...
