Collaborative project: Sustainable increase of Phosphorus efficiency in winter wheat via an effective root-soil-interaction - subproject 1 (Project)

In this project, the P-efficiency of 200 wheat varieties with different P-fertilizers including a recycling P-fertilizer (P-Rec) from sewage sludge incineration was investigated. Despite seasonal differences in the raw material of the sewage sludge, the examined P-Rec fertilizer showed low pollutant levels (heavy metals and organic compounds). The P-uptake of the wheat varieties tested with...

Recurrent genomic selection for combining resistance genes and improvement of yield and agronomic performance in winter barley. Subproject 1 (Project)

"The project RGS Gerste focused on introgression of resistances against barley yellow dwarf virus and net blotch from non-adapted resistance donors into elite barley lines. Doubled-haploid (DH) lines were produced from these crosses and can be integrated into ongoing breeding programs of the breeders involved in the project. Cross-planning and selection were performed with recurrent genomic...

Collaborative project: Development and Design of a robot for the abatement of harmful slugs in agriculture - subproject 1 (Project)

Slugs can cause substantial damages in agricultural plant production. Existing methods to fight those slugs do not deliver satisfying results. Therefore the MSR-bot-Project aims to develop a robot that detects slugs and fights them using a manipulator. The planed robot navigates autonomously across agricultural land. It detects slugs using digital image processing. The robot is provided with a...

Collaborative project: Sustainable, animal and environmental friendly cattle husbandry due to ammonia mitigation utilising urease inhibitors - subproject 1 (Project)

The research project REDUCE will promote the processing of a practical solution to reduce ammonia emission from cattle husbandry with a well controllable and proven innovative measure (urease inhibitor application) which will be ready for the market. In addition to the ammonia mitigation the urease inhibitor application will reduce the exposure of animals to ammonia, increase indoor air quality...

Collaborative project: Orchestration of process chains for data-driven resource optimization in agricultural business and engineering - subproject 1 (Project)

The research project OPeRAte was funded by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture and explored the increase of efficiency in agricultural processes. Today, inadequate IT integration places a burden on agricultural processes. A lack of automation mechanisms, verbal agreements and the manual configuration of machinery prevent efficient workflows. Based on an intelligent liquid manure trailer...

Collaborative project: Morphological and molecular identification of beetle species on packaging wood in plant health control - Subproject 1 (Project)

Wood packing material may sometimes support the introduction of harmful wood damaging beetles, that can be a plant health risk to trees and shrubs. In some cases it may be necessary to cut down infested trees. To reduce such extreme impacts to nature and the environment it is necessary to clearly identify beetle records that are found during inspections. In the project PHID-Coleo the population...

Collaborative project: Data fusion in plant phenotyping using the example of Cercospora leaf blotch in sugar beet. Subproject 1 (Project)

Aim of the project DataPlant is the early detection of the leave disease Cercospora of sugar beets. A new mid-infrared hyperspectral imaging spectrometer was developed by the project partners TU Clausthal, KWS SAAT, MG Optical Solutions and InfraTec in order to detect an infection of sugar beet leaves by Cercospora. It is based on a Quantum Cascade Laser illuminating the plant at specific...

Collaborative project: Optimized conservation of grasses and forage legumes for an improved protein supply of dairy cows. Subproject 1 (Project)

The project Optikons had the overall objective to improve protein and energy supply to ruminants through targeted treatments of grass and legume forages before and during ensiling. Two distinctly different approaches were followed and compared to reduce, in particular, protein and amino acid degradation, namely moderate or intensive wilting after harvest and addition of hydrolysable tannins at...

Collaborative project: Optimization of a fine separation technology for the conditioning of cattle manure and biogas digestates. Subproject 1 (Project)

The subject of this project reaches from the optimisation of system technology for an efficient intense separation of solid material from fresh slurry to a fully functional separator with a broad range of applications. By optimising the existing technology and upgrading it, the systems efficiency and its marketability can be improved significantly. This makes it possible to process existing...

Collaborative project: Food Security in Rural Zambia: Integrating Traditional Fruit and Vegetable Crops in Smallholder Agroforestry Systems. Subproject 1 (Project)

The project addresses malnutrition in Luapula Province of Zambia and aims at developing sustainable diets well adapted to ecological conditions in wetlands of Congo Basin. Stunting is the most widespread nutritional disorder affecting children under five years, and Zambia’s national stunting rate of 45 % is high and exceeds the 40% average of sub-Saharan Africa (UNICEF 2013:8). According to...
