Nutrient-controlled slurry application (Project)
Specific proposal for a targeted use of manure is still missing the ability to directly measure the ingredients and then being able to control the application on the basis of levels of nutrients. In this project, therefore, the practical testing of a method of planting and environmentally sound application of manure and biogas digester substrates sought. What is new is that a flow-infrared...

Precision phenotyping for improving drought stress tolerant maize in southern Asia and eastern Africa (Project)
Goal: to enhance food security and raise incomes of resource-poor farming families and consumers in southern Asia (Thailand and South China) and eastern Africa (Kenya). Purpose: To provide poor farmers with abiotic stress (mainly drought and low fertility) tolerant quality protein maize and breeders of national programs and seed companies with innovative phenotyping platforms to assess genotypic...

Improving minimum tillage systems for potato production in winter fallow paddy soils in southern China (Project)
Goal: To study and improve the productivity of farmer-developed minimum tillage systems for potato on paddy rice soils, and to evaluate its potential for out-scaling to South East Asia. Purpose: The minimum tillage system for potato on paddy rice soils has great potential for producing an additional crop within a relatively short period of time, thereby optimizing use of available resources....

Revisiting sweetpotato weevil sexual pheromone research and development: Scale-up synthesis of improved chemistry, field evaluation and integration into rational mass trapping devices for field application (Project)
Goal: Enhance food security, reduce poverty and improve human health through sustainable sweetpotato production and reduced use of pesticides. Purpose: Sweetpotato weevil population effectively controlled by the use of sex pheromones in innovative trapping devices. Long term: Sweetpotato production losses by Cylas sp. substantially reduced through the integration and effective use of sex...

Predicting climate change induced vulnerability of African agricultural systems to major insect pests through advanced insect phenology modeling, and decision aid development for adaptation planning (Project)
Goal: African agriculture (farmers, national agricultural research institutions, policy makers, etc.) copes with the risk of exacerbating and expanding insect pests due to climate change; and, adaptation strategies minimize major pest-related crop losses. Purpose: • Vulnerability of crops to pests induced by climate change determined through phenology modeling, and a database on...

Agricultural Policies in Africa: Understanding the Political and Institutional Dynamics of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) (Project)
Goal: The project will analyse the multi-level dimension of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) in order to understand its political and institutional dynamics. It will explore the different interests in and perceptions of CAADP by different actors and show how these differences hamper its implementation and performance. Based on this analysis, the project will...

Development of a 'Contact Allergen Activated T-Cell (CAATC)-Assay' using dendritic cells from skin: characterization of the sensitizing potency of chemicals via dendritic cell-induced expression of lineage specific T cell transcription factors (Project)
We propose to develop an in vitro testing system capable of characterizing the sensitizing potency of contact allergens through measurement of the intensity of induced immune cell responses via certain biological endpoints, i.e. expression of lineage specific transcription factors in T cell subpopulations. This testing system would allow to detect cell proliferation and differentiation of the...

Mutual learning of livestock keepers and scientists for adaptation to climate change in pastoral areas (Project)
Purpose: To enhance adaptation to climate variability through effective knowledge sharing processes in vulnerable ecosystems of the arid and semi arid lands. This refers to facilitated exchange of know-how and experiences between rural people, and not to diverse approaches where specialist farmers (promoters, farmer extensionists etc.) take on the function of the extensionist (ASALs) of Kenya....
