Developing a strategy to Virulenzmanagement the codling moth and the regulation of the codling moth in organic orchards 1 (Project)

The objective of the proposal is the development of a long-term strategy for the control of codling moth in organic apple production based on different components by a joint effort of research institutes, extension services and fruit growers. For that purpose a sustainable application management of Cydia pomonella granulovirus (CpGV) is as necessary as effective alternatives, which are currently...

Collaborative project: Development of comfort mats for the lying and walking area of sows (PigComfort) - subproject 1 (Project)

The aim of this project is to develop rubber mats for the lying and the walking area in sow housing systems in order to improve the comfort of sows even in absence bedding material such as straw. It is expected that an improved comfort will reduce leg problems and skin lesions and will increase the productivity of sows. Furthermore, this will lead to an improvement of the economic situation in...

Collaborative project: Irrigation in fruit production - minimizing water use while maintaining confidence of the grower - subproject 1 (Project)

"Fruit growth is directly dependent on the water status of the plant and thus an ideal parameter to control irrigation. The aim was to develop an autonomous but user-controllable irrigation control based on an optical sensor. A camera system (smartphone) was adapted and programmed to make photographs of the fruits in chosen time intervals, transfer them to a central server system and analyze them...

Collaborative project: Managment tool for a systematic collection and an increase efficiency in dairy livestock farming - subproject 1 (Project)

The aim of the project is to develop a management tool that supports dairy farmers to assess and increase efficiency in the utilisation of home-grown and bought-in feedstuffs ant to optimize the distribution of feed resources between feeding groups. The complexity of the processes and the large variability between the farmers require a systemic approach by defining the borders of subsystems and...

Collaborative project: Natural substances against bird damage - Development of a biological repellent applied as seed treatment -Subproject 1 (Project)

In this project a biological repellent based on plant substances against birds is intended to be developed. The goal of the project is to treat corn in a way that damage on seeds and seedlings by birds can be avoided. Furthermore baits against for example rodents could be treated with the repellent to avoid accidental poisoning of birds. Several candidate plants will be screened for repellent...

Collaborative project: Development of an online IT - decision support tool for on-farm resistance management – Subproject 1 (Project)

"Pesticide resistance has been recognized as an increasing problem in agricultural systems and many publications about minimizing resistance problems have been published by different working groups. But for farmers, there are no decision support tools available to ensure appropriate decisions concerning the individual resistance management strategies. The project evaluates the available knowledge...
