Importance of root lesion nematodes in German crop production and strategies to breed resistant varieties, Subproject A (Project)

Root lesion nematodes (RLN) are important pests worldwide with a large range of host species. These migratory parasites are able to infest a wide spectrum of crops. In the past decade, severe damage in German cereal production has been reported and this pest is regarded by farming experts as a major threat for cereal production. Narrow crop rotation, early-sowing dates, and mild winters which are...

Environment indicators in agriculture concerning air quality and climate (Project)

With the help of so-called emission factors, as they are mentioned in the administrative regulation of the Technical Instructions on Air Quality (TA Luft) not only different production processes of animal husbandry can be compared with each other but also be used as starting parameters of national models of air pollution prevention. Measurements of emission require a very critical discussion...

Collaborative project: Development of efficient high throughput (HT) techniques for selection of grapevine cultivars with high acid stabilty, 1: Development of markers for acid content for MAS in crossbreeding of Vitis vinifera - subproject 2 (Project)

Climate change will cause major changes to viticulture in future decades, as many traditional varieties show best performance in the cool German climate. The correspondingly high organic acid production is an important factor for quality in wine production. Molecular markers linked with quality parameters would enable early selection in breeding, largely independent of environmental factors....

Analysis of land use change and development of methods for identification and quantification of measures for greenhouse gas abatement in the agricultural sector (Project)

Improvement of data base for the German GHG emission inventory using existing data sources; amplification of understanding of agricultural production systems and their potential contribution to climate protection; development of valuation methods and identification of appropriate abatement measures in the agricultural sector; analysis of suitable political instruments for climate protection.

Adjustment of the forest dynamics and wood production modeling (WEHAM) to the information needs of the greenhouse gas monitoring and of the political consultancy concerning timber supply (Project)

The national forest dynamics and wood production modelling (WEHAM) is an important tool for the modelling of carbon sequestration in forest biomass (needed for greenhouse gas reporting) and of future timber production potentials. The further model development includes the implementation of expansion and conversion factors for the assessment of carbon sequestration as well as the development of...
