Non-invasive determination of water and salt content with a portable microwave resonator (Project)

Based on the dual-mode sensor technology introduced by EMISENS, a portable and battery powered handheld device for the investigation of crops and grapes will be developed and optimized. This method allows for extremely fast and non-invasive measurements of the complex dielectric permittivity of plant tissue at two different frequencies in the range from 100 MHz to 3 GHz, which will enable the...

Non-invasive sensor technologies for estimating the population of Heterodera schachtii on the leaves of sugar beet (Project)

To keep nematode populations at tolerable densities several factors (crop rotation, variety, intercropping) have to be taken into account simultaneously in order to avoid yield losses or increased resource input. Soil samples from large areas are economically not practical. The objective of this project is to test the feasibility of whether the soil abundance of the nematode can be derived from...

Non-leguminous cover crops and reduced tillage to increase the performance of symbiotic N2 fixation of faba bean-N streams, weed control and energy efficiency (Project)

Strategies to improve the performance of organic grain legumes (faba bean and pea) were tested in numerous field trials all over Germany. The key objectives were to evaluate the effect of reduced soil tillage / occasional direct seeding in combination with mulching, cover crops and nutrient supply on crop growth and yield. After reduced soil tillage / direct seeding compared with ploughing crop...

Non-linear analysis of data from the environmental monitoring (Project)

Investigating water and solute turnover is based on small scale process studies that are upscaled using simulation models to describe the complex interplay between biotic and abiotic processes at larger scales. Now large data sets are available delivered by extended research projects and environmental monitoring programs that can be used for innovative system analysis approaches. Among others...

Non-native tree species for European forests - experiences, risks and opportunities (Project)

Issues of biomass production and C sequestration as well as the question of whether non-native species could increase the adaptive capacity of forests to long-term climate change patterns have fuelled a growing interest in non-native tree species in Europe. The management of tree species non-native to European geographical regions has a long tradition within forestry management practice. Their...

Non-transgenic approaches for the development of haploid inducer lines of Apiaceae vegetable species (Project)

In recent years, there has been an increasing usage of F1 hybrid seed in commercial carrot production systems worldwide. Current hybrid breeding programs in carrots are based on inbred lines produced by repeated self fertilizations or in vitro-techniques such as microspore culture. Manipulating centromeres of the chromosomes has been proposed as universal novel method for the production of...
