Fine mapping of economically important genes in carrot (Daucus carota L.) (Project)

Carrot is the economically by far most important crop in Apiaceae family. Growing area as well as yield increased worldwide contineously over the last years. Continuation of this high yield and quality level under changing climatic conditions is only possible using marker assisted breeding methods for resistance against biotic and abiotic stress factors. Prerequisite is a high-density map. Aim of...

Investigation and evaluation of aerobic treatment and effective utilisation of agrarian residues (Project)

Investigations about the metabolism during composting of organic waste from agriculture (for example litter manure, liquid manure, straw, vineyard pruning, herbal waste from pharmaceutical industry ). Evaluation of the biological and technical processes and the utilisation of the products with regard to a sustainable agricultural production.

Investigation, evaluation and development of biogas processes (especially with co-fermentation) including the energetical utilization of biogas. (Project)

Biogas production is of increasing interest for farmers in order to earn an additional income from this activity.The research activities are focussed on the improvement of processes and product quality, closing of nutrient cycles, protection of resources, environment and climate and the creation of new jobs in rural areas.

Impact of biofuels on the environmental and health effects of exhaust gas emissions from internal combustion engines (Project)

Utilization of plants as energy sources is an important contribution to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. Worth mentioning for Germany is only the use of biodiesel (rapeseed oil methylester). Further classical pathways for energy production from biological sources are burning of wood and straw, and production of bio-ethanol or biogas. Future fuels for combustion engines need a special...

Investigations on abiotic effects (i.e.climate change,non balanced nutrient supply, mechanic damage, agraric substances) on plant growth an increase of contaminates (i.e. copper) (Project)

Investigations on climate, fertlization, cultivation and plant protection on the change of plant phenotype, phytopathology and crop. Development of strategies to prevent damage on plant or fruit by frost, sunburn or hail. Effect of sun burn and heat damage of clusters and leaves were investigated and documented. Nutrient analyses employed suggest that leaf necrosis is partially caused by a...

SFB 564: F3.1 - Development intervention, state administration and local responses of ethnic minorities in upland Northern Thailand: role and dynamics of local, rural organizations and networks (Project)

Thailand is probably the only country that succeeded in fighting poppy production and trade, by implementing a 'stick and carrot' policy allowed by the economic take-off the country experienced from the 1960s onward and the 'anti-Communist rent' provided by the USA. This development was mainly launched by special bilateral projects and by the King (later Royal Foundation) and bypassed to a...
