Nature conservation by organic farming: Restoration of local populations of rare and endangered arable field plants on organic farms in Germany (Project)

Abundance and diversity of arable weeds have been strongly declining in many European regions. The main factors for reduced agro-biodiversity are herbicides, fertilizer treatments and other practices of modern agricultural management. In response to this biodiversity crisis several programs have been launched. A successful program was the field margins concept, but due to bureaucratic obstacles...

Increase of the agronomic importance of yellow (Lupinus luteus) and white lupins (Lupinus albus) for organic farming by breeding methods (Project)

The project aims at increasing agronomic importance, yield and yield stability of yellow and white lupins. This comprises the improvement of resistance against anthracnose, increasing of the protein content and lowering of antinutritive ingrediences like alkaloids. Besides this selection for earliness and high yield will be conducted. Methods to improve resistance to anthracnose established...

Strategies to reduce and avoid copper in organic potato production. Subproject A: measures for the reduction of the primary infestation (Project)

In organic potato production late blight of potato (Phytophthora infestans) can only be effectively controlled through the use of copper fungicides. Its accumulation in the soil and potential negative effects on non-target organisms make a reduction of copper usage necessary. The starting point of Phytophthora epidemics often are infected planting tubers from which form primary infection sites...

Strategies to reduce and avoid copper in organic potato production. Subproject 2: Potential of copper substitutes and new copper formulations (Project)

In organic potato production late blight of potato (Phytophthora infestans) can only be effectively controlled through the use of copper fungicides. Its accumulation in the soil and potential negative effects on non-target organisms make a reduction of copper usage necessary.

Generation of market incentives for domestic feed production through improved marketing strategies for regional organic animal products (Project)

'In the last years, the German organic animal production has constantly been increased. This growth was accompanied by an increasing demand for organic animal feed which could not be satisfied by the supply of German organic farmers especially with regard to protein feed. To fill this gap between demand and supply, a high amount of protein fodder is imported. In the next years even more organic...

Practical testing and implementation of sensor-based methods of fertilization and pest management to improve environmental performance, sustainability and profitability in grain production (Project)

The variability of the local natural conditions, in conjunction with the management and weather conditions on agricultural land for the development of plant canopies with some very large heterogeneity. For an optimal allocation of fertilizers and pesticides needs-based adjustment is required. As a prerequisite to easily ascertainable metrics as a source of information about the local nature of a...
