Collaborative project: Design, construction and test of a trough for nuzzling to facilitate species-appropriate feeding of litterless pigs – Subproject 1 (Project)

In this project, an innovative toy for pigs was developed. In production systems without the practicability for the use of bedding materials a species-appropriate burrowing behavior is not possible. With the floor-mounted, spring-loaded cone of food-safe polyurethane the animals can act out their natural needs for exploration and rooting. By the special arrangement of the rooting cones the...

Collaborative project: gEo-BEE - An participative information platform for protecting and promoting wild bees and honey bees – Subproject 1 (Project)

Honey bees and wild bees contribute to pollination of agricultural and fruit farming but also protect biodiversity by pollination of wild flowers. The aim of the project geobee is to combine bee-relevant information and to ease exchange of information in order to protect honey and wild bees in agriculture as well as to come to a cooperative use of farmland. The basis therefore is a bee portal for...

Collaborative project: Adaption of nozzles and sensors for gap switching - pre condition for the accurate spraying in orchards – Subproject 1 (Project)

As part of a three year project, a master plan for an optimized tree gap detection for a focused plant protection application and drift minimization in horticultural production systems should be developed. For this reason, a radial fan sprayer was equipped with a suitable combination of sensors and nozzles and a control computer. Afterward, the prototype was tested under practical conditions. The...

Collaborative project: Joint research project: Identification of optimisation potentials for an environmental friendly production of milk and milk products - subproject 1 (Project)

For the research project 'derivation of environmental optimisation potentials for the production of milk and dairy products' which was founded by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture, a life cycle assessment of the production and use of milk (fresh and UHT), yoghurt (natural and fruit flavour), sliced cheese and powdered milk in Germany was conducted. The impact of individual life cycle...

Collaborative project: Improved control of Stempyphlium in asparagus by means of optimized termination of fungicides and improved spraying technique - subproject 1 (Project)

"Clear improvements in the control of the main leaf disease of asparagus were achieved. Using conventional and molecular tools the causal pathogen could be identified as Stemphylium vesicarium. Based on newly generated biological data the model SIMSTEM was developed, simulating disease infection and progress under current weather conditions in individual fields. To apply fungicides according to...

Collaborative project: High speed system for cost effective and flexible production of drip irrigation pipes from polymer materials (HOKOFLEX) – Subproject 1 (Project)

The use of water saving drip irrigation is hindered by high investment costs of the pipe systems. A cost reduction by 50 – 75 % is possible, if the productivity of the production machine can be doubled and both the costs of the machine and use of pipe and dripper material can be reduced. The throughput is limited by presently used laser technology to open the irrigation holes in the pipes. The...
