Crop sequences for optimized use of soil resources: combining allorhizous and homorhizous species for complementary root growth in topsoil and subsoil (Project)

The main objective of the project is reducing yield gaps in organic agriculture by optimizing the mobilisation of water and nutrients from the solid phase of the soil. The basis for this is promoting extensive root systems via creating a soil structure that is beneficial for soil microbiology and root growth. Catch crops and precrops will be grown that (i) increase fine pores in shallow soil...

Effects of innovative beekeeping with reduced varroa mite treatment on the performance and vitality of honeybees in near-natural beekeeping (Project)

In this research project, we want to explore how an innovative method of beekeeping affects the vitality and productivity of colonies and whether it makes worker bees and drones more resilient to environmental stress. Our approach is based on an interruption of breeding lasting for several weeks in late summer followed by a single treatment with oxalic acid. In contrast to conventional...

Interaction of abiotic stressors including food limitation on bee health and colony development under field conditions - JKI (Project)

The project NutriBee aims at studying newly established honey bee colonies during their most sensitive initial growth phase. Colonies will be exposed to various stressors, by which they are usually challenged in agricultural practice. These young colonies represent the backbone of every beekeeping business, and their healthy development is crucial for pollination efficiency and colony fitness. In...

Sustainable fruit production 2030 by adapting the Federal Guideline for Integrated Fruit Production (Project)

The Integrated Fruit Production (IP) represents one of the three production methods in German commercial fruit growing. Above all, environmental and consumer protection measures which are not required by law are important objectives of IP. 80-90% of all fruit farms in Germany operate according to the guidelines of the IP. The nationwide applicable IP guideline is drawn up by the Federal Expert...
