Beneficial insect tents - open breeding of aphid antagonists in the field (Project)

After a winter break, aphids become active earlier than their counterparts. This head start can only be made up for by the antagonists later, resulting in a high aphid pressure in spring, which is almost impossible for vegetable growers to control biologically. The ?beneficial insect tents? project aims to eliminate this advantage. To this end, special tents are to be developed in which...

Ribwort plantain for nitrous oxide reduction (Project)

In modern agriculture, nitrous oxide emissions and nitrate pollution from the use of fertilisers are a significant problem. These emissions contribute to climate change and nitrate pollution jeopardises water quality. In addition, these environmental problems also pose financial challenges for farmers, especially in vegetable production where fertiliser use is intensive. The project aims to...

Southern German pig production - future-oriented, climate-friendly, economical (Project)

The project focuses on climate-friendly pig production in consideration of economics an animal welfare. To transform this value chain into a climate-friendly, animal welfare-oriented and economically sustainable southern German pig production, the existing information platform 'Qualifood' needs to be upgraded with a central sustainability module. For this purpose, data and knowledge from various...

Water storage and operational strategy for climate change adaptation (Project)

The OG WassKli aims to sustainably strengthen the competitiveness and adaptability of agriculture in Lower Saxony, particularly in regions with increasing irrigation requirements. Considering increasing droughts and climatic changes, securing additional water resources from natural and artificial reservoirs is becoming essential to secure crop yields in terms of both quantity and quality. Without...

NextMix - Sensor-based real-time feeding of ruminants (Project)

Climate change is bringing extreme weather events such as droughts and heavy rainfall, which significantly affect the water content of silage in the silo. These variations affect feed quality and can cause animal health problems. Inaccurate adjustment of feed levels to changing weather conditions leads to inefficient use of resources and wastage of feed. Accurate determination of the dry matter...

Barn of the future - ´Dresdner Vorgebirge´ cow garden (Project)

The construction of the ?Kuhgarten? dairy barn is part of a larger investment project. The barn shell is being built according to the Serrestall (French: winter garden) concept. A steel frame and a newly developed two-component roof membrane form the main components of the building envelope. This is the first time that this  barn concept is adapted to the climatic and terrain conditions of a...

Meadow orchards with mulch and old grass strips (Project)

Concept development Yield-orientated fruit cultivation requires vital fruit trees. If the cuttings are regularly removed from the orchard, nutrients are removed from the crop and cuttings are produced, which can be a problem, especially in regions with low precipitation and low fertility. On the other hand, the structural diversity of meadow orchards in combination with species-rich undergrowth...

Systemic neophyte management concept for tiger nut grass in Lower Saxony (Project)

Agriculture is currently facing a number of challenges, such as climate change, which are evident to society as a  whole. But lesser-known developments also pose challenges for agriculture, such as the spread of the neophyte tiger nut grass (Cyperus esculentus L.). Still relatively unknown to many farmers, the plant is spreading rapidly in some regions and is difficult to control. Using a...

Improving sustainability in the production and processing of malting barley (Project)

The project idea was primarily triggered by the high energy prices in 2022. These price increases affected not only the costs of fertilizers and plant protection products in barley cultivation but also led to higher energy costs and purchasing prices for barley, significantly increasing the production costs of barley-based food and beverage products. Throughout the entire value chain of...

Propagation of wild plants for the energy flowering mixtures on dry sites (Project)

The project is based on the idea of affected farmers to develop new sources of income for the Rhön-Grabfeld district, which is affected by severe drought, by propagating seeds and processing wild plants locally. The project aims to offer available seed mixtures at reasonable prices and with (regional) German origin. In addition, farmers are to be given access to these innovative (biogas) flower...
