Collaborative project: Animal Welfare Label – Development of a market-conform animal welfare program in the pork chain – Subproject 2 (Project)

The aim of the innovation project was to test, evaluate and establish a market-driven animal welfare program for pork. The implementation and further development of the Animal Welfare Label (Tierschutzlabel) criteria of the German Animal Welfare Federation proofed to be successful for the areas fattening and slaughter. An objective examination was carried out by the scientists resulting in a...

Collaborative project: gEo-BEE - An participative information platform for protecting and promoting wild bees and honey bees – Subproject 2 (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: High speed system for cost effective and flexible production of drip irrigation pipes from polymer materials (HOKOFLEX) – Subproject 2 (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...

Collaborative project: Development and field test of a direct injection system without delay times forpatchspraying application of pesticides - subproject 2 (Project)

The aim of the project is to save pesticides through site-specific application. This is just the situation and pinpoint application, a prototype of a direct injection system developed and tested without delay times. Thus, for example, when a sub-surface weed control only those sub-areas treated with herbicides, is recommended for those under the economic threshold concept a fight. With the...

Collaborative project: Development of innovative plant-derived feed additives for the improvement of animal health and efficiency in the production of animal foodstuff - subproject 2 (Project)

The aim of the research project is to develop innovative plant-based feed additives. Thus, so far under-utilized by-products of mango fruit processing are sustainably exploited, and their nutritional effects shall be thoroughly characterized. Digestive processes are expected to be stabilized, animal health to be improved and nutrient and resource exploitation to be enhanced. These outcomes are...

Collaborative project: Fungicide resistance in the grey mould fungus Botrytis cinerea: identification of causes and development of anti-resistance strategies - Subproject 2 (Project)

"Botrytis cinerea is the major pathogen in German soft fruit production and needs to be chemically controlled. In recent years, B. cinerea has developed fungicide resistance which increasingly compromised fungicide efficacy. In a three years innovation project (2013-15) funded by the BMEL, field, greenhouse and laboratory experiments were performed to determine the causes of fungicide resistance...

Adaptation strategies of forest hygiene facing an increasing potential of pathogens in vulnerable regions with regard to climate change and the growing number of restrictions. Subproject 2 (Project)

Precipitation deficits caused by geographical and seasonal effects lead to a growing risk of abiotic and biotic stress for forest ecosystems (such as drought, fire, pest infestations, or disease). This effect is explicitly men-tioned in the current IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) assessment report on climate change as accelerating factors influencing the predicted emission...
