Collaborative project: Reduction of the amount of plant protection products in pomiculture by adaption the densitiy of foliage wall – Subproject 2 (Project)

The objective of this endeavour was the development and testing of a usable technical solution that leads to reduced environmental pollution as a result of fewer plant protection products and which provides competitive advantages to the manufacturer. These competitive advantages resulted from the potential cost advantages to the user that can be achieved with this technology. Due to the lower...

Collaborative project: Optimization of sensor technology for target adapted sprayer control in vineyards – reduction of chemicals and drift – Subproject 2 (Project)

Since the early 90's, a sensor system for gap detection in the foilage was tested. Developed for reduction of losses in plant protection measurements, the acceptance on the market was rather poor. Based on this, the new 'ECO-Reflex' sensor system was realised. A new infrared sensor device, with three sensors and a process computer per unit, was developed, and, correspondent to the nozzles, on two...

Collaborative project: Development of high-throughput plant phenotyping technologies to screen agronomic and physiological traits in field based experimentation – Subproject 2 (Project)

The project aims to develop technologies that will enable the high-throughput precision phenotyping in field based experimentation. This novel concept should increase throughput, allow to record plant growth automatically, remove subjectivity from assay scoring and decrease laborious scoring tasks.The project includes the development of new, advanced sensors and spectral algorithms to evaluate...

Collabortative project: Integrated plant management by using of wireless sensor networks - area specific irrigation monitoring of specialised crops – Subproject 2 (Project)

Due to the climatic change many agriculturally used regions are faced with longer dry periods. The goal of the project is therefore the development of an optimized irriga-tion water management system for specialised crops by the example of viniculture. Backbone of this system is a wireless sensor network for the identification of area specific soil parameters. To this end test systems based on...

Collaborative project: Increasing the contents of positive and decreasing the contents of negative compounds in grape berries (Vitis vinifera) - Subproject 2 (Project)

Molecular markers proved to be an extremely valuable diagnostic tool to improve grapevine breeding efficiency. The project aimed at the development of markers for both positive and negative aroma compounds. Thus, candidate gene approaches and linkage analysis were performed. Analytical, sensory and olfactometry tests were used for phenotyping of the plant material. The comparison of aromatic...

Collaborative project: Further development oft the steep slope harvester as a multifunctional system in plant protection and other applications - Subproject 2 (Project)

The main purpose of the project is the further development of the steep slope harvester to a carrier system for modern application devices for steep slopes. The steep slope harvester is then useful as an effective application system for plant protection that is able to spare expensive resources. With the use of application systems that decreases the losses, the steep slope harvester makes a...

Collaborative project: Non-destructive assessment of root formation capacity in cuttings of ornamental plants using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) – Subproject 2 (Project)

Root formation capacity of ornamental cuttings is strongly affected by nitrogen (N) and carbohydrate (CH) status. However, the lack of methods for a direct measurement of these internal quality parameters impedes a broad use of this knowledge within the young plant industry. Within the joint research a calibration model for non-destructive measurement of the N and CH status of cuttings by...
