Collaborative project: Co-operative project: Sensor supported control system for resource preserving irrigation of field and fruit vegetables by means of close range photogrammetry - Subproject 1 (Project)

The PLANTSENS system has been developed to analyze the water supply state of a horticultural crop and to trigger georeferenced watering when needed. The sensory system is based on methods of short range photogrammetry combined with remote measurements of reflection and crop surface temperatures. Data and trigger transfer are conducted wireless. Within a glasshouse the sensory system will be fixed...

Collaborative project: Press residues - a by-production from oil production - a sustainable ingredient for the production of high-quality feed for aquaculture – Subproject 1 (Project)

The aim of the current project is to investigate the potential of by-products from oil production as a novel and sustainable ingredient for the production of feed for aquaculture in particular for the breeding of trout. Therefore, four different raw materials, residues from sunflower, soy, rapeseed and linseed oil production, were chosen. These materials were extruded adapting the extrusion...

Collaborative project: Development of an autonomous plantation maintenance robot with electric drives taking special account of modern plant protection application in orchards and vineyards - subproject 1 (Project)

Based on the results of previous research, an electrically driven planting robot was developed, which is able to carry out various tasks in wine and fruit plants autonomously. Using the example of "modern plant protection" as a demanding application, the navigation in the tree row and the process control were tested and optimized. The use of leaf wall scanning for the injection molding and...

Collaborative project: Offshore site selection for sustainable and multifunctional use of marine areas in heavily used oceans on the example of the North Sea – Subproject 1 (Project)

Objectives: The project aims to create a 'multi-use road map” as a tool for future (existing and further) use of marine areas in the German Bight using the example 'aquaculture” in combination with other infrastructures, such as offshore-wind farms as well as new strategies in the field of passive fisheries. This multiple use concept will help to regulate and reduce the impact on the ecosystem....

Collaborative project: Development, design, building and evaluation of components and machines to place and recover drip irrigation pipes in potato production (Opti-Tropf-Tech) - subproject 1 (Project)

In the frame of a joint research project optimized and modular devices to lay and to recover drip tapes have been developed, built and tested. The aim was to reduce the amount of work and to avoid damage of the drip tapes to make the water and energy saving method of drip irrigation of potatoes more attractive to farmers. The placement blades of the new laying device follow the potato row by...

Collaborative project: Identification of the signalling function of secondary metabolites and selection on improved secondary metabolite spectra in the host/arthropod complex lupine/weevil – Subproject 1 (Project)

The impact of insect herbivory on yield in Lupin crops and the extent of infestation by lupin weevils on several Lupinus genotypes were assessed. In addition, functional substances in lupines which influence the behaviour of the specific weevil species Sitona griseus and S. gressorius were identified by using biochemical, ethological and ecological approaches. Results of field experiments showed...

Collaborative project: Identification and functional characterisation of the Co (columnar) -gene in columnar apple varieties as a basis for a systematic use in breeding - Subproject 1 (Project)

This project aimed at the efficient selection of columnar apple varieties as a basis for a new production system. The columnar growth type is an accidentally discovered natural mutation of a single gene and is inherited in a dominant way. It has the potential for a less laborintensive production and thus is economically of high interest. We could with great certainty identify the genomic...
