Metabolites of potato, wild potato and breeding lines and their relevance in resistance against pest insects (Project)
Potatoes are an important source of food and raw materials. However, the infestation pressure from insect pests is very high and can lead to harvest and yield losses of up to 80%. In view of climate change, this infestation pressure will become even more severe. On the other hand, there is a need to reduce the use of chemical pesticides and legislation of pesticides will be limited. There is...

Boosting benefical arthropods in nature protected areas to strengthen biological control (Project)
The pilot study will be carried out in a landscape of the Rhine-Neckar region. Several arable fields (e.g. cereals) in the protected area and comparatively on similar arable fields outside the protected landscape configuration will be selected. In addition, areas in the protected area will be chosen that are already undergoing ecological improvement, e.g. through field margins, herbaceous borders...

Increasing protein use efficiency in bread wheat with innovative breeding research on the MAGIC-WHEAT population WM-800 for effective climate change mitigation in the cereal value chain (Project)
The overall project objective is to use innovative plant breeding methods to advance the development of winter wheat varieties that exhibit improved protein use efficiency (ProtUE) and high baking quality in organic and conventional crop production systems. The project contributes to more resource efficiency in terms of N fertilisation and processing suitability of bread wheat and thus opens up...

BiodivKI: Measuring biodiversity factors using intelligent acoustic sensors (Project)
In the first phase of the project, a sensor system for the collection and processing of acoustic data will be developed and its applicability for the recognition of individual insect species will be evaluated under laboratory and real conditions. Based on the knowledge gained and the technological potential identified, this system will then be deployed, calibrated and evaluated in situ in the...

Social dimension of climate-friendly nutrition (Project)
Nutrition is an important lever for climate protection and mitigation of climate change. In order to contribute to climate protection and justice, diets have to be ecologically and socially sustainable. While the state of knowledge in the ecological dimension is steadily improving and environmental impacts are to a large extent well measurable, the social dimension of nutrition has been...

Use of UV-C technology for the stabilization of wine (Project)
The objectives are: - to adapt UV-C systems with the possibility to adjust the UV-C intensity for different wavelengths for the technical application in wine under consideration of fluid mechanics and energy efficiency. - to investigate the UV-C effect on microbiological and chemical stability in an extended wavelength spectrum. - to determine the inactivation kinetics of wine-relevant yeasts and...

Behavior of zearalenone and modified zearalenone derivativs during baking of gluten free foods (Project)
Zearalenone (ZEN) is commonly found in maize and other cereals. ZEN metabolites, which have received little attention so far, are also frequently detected, although they sometimes have a higher toxicity. Model bakery products (biscuits) are produced from characterised flours and analysed comparatively. The modified ZEN compounds and ZEN will be focused and their behaviour during the baking...

Agriculture using AI; sub-project: Multiscale and multisensory information retrieval from remote sensing data (NaLamKI) (Project)
The NaLamKI project is creating a cloud-based SaaS (Software as a Service) platform with open interfaces for providers from the upstream and downstream sectors of agriculture, industry and for service providers of special applications in crop production. By aggregating sensor and machine data obtained by means of remote sensing (satellites, drones), soil sensors, robotics, manual data collection...

VectoScreen vector monitoring for Flavescence dorée, Xylella fastidiosa and regulated non-quarantine pests in fruit growing and viticulture - innovative data collection and management (Project)
The project aims to develop a new effective and sensitive monitoring strategy, coupled with innovative diagnostics, based on the analysis of unsorted mass catches of plant-sucking insects. An Internet platform for the management, analysis and communication of monitoring data is to be developed and made available for the management and analysis of the data obtained in this way, as well as data...

Scouting parasitoids for help to control the Box Tree Pyralid Moth (Cydalima perspectalis) and other related moths (Project)
The intended joint research proposal focus on collections of the Box Tree Pyralid Moth and related species to be made in different habitats in Japan (native region) and in Germany (invaded region), following a joint standard protocol. Collected insects will further incubated to allow parasitoids to emerge from the different developmental stages. After collection and identification of parasitoid...
