VitalCoat biobased waxes as the key to vital plants (Project)
The use of natural waxes for various applications is already common in many industries. Some examples are oil binding in shoe polishes and lipsticks, the water-repellent effect in sugar-coated tablets and industrial coatings, as well as the release effect in baked goods and plastics. For plant health, tree waxes are used to protect against UV radiation or parasites and in modern agriculture as a...

Development and testing of a mobile wool washing system to safeguard the previously unused renewable raw material wool in Brandenburg. (Project)
There are numerous shepherds in Brandenburg. According to the Office for Statistics, around 72,000 sheep were kept in Brandenburg in 2022. The problem: local sheep's wool is difficult to market. Among other things, imported wool from abroad depresses prices. Shepherds in this country can't even cover the cost of shearing with the wool they sell. To help domestic sheep farmers market their wool,...

Development of a prototype for converting agricultural residues into animal feed using heterotrophic microalgae (Project)
The “AlgoWert” project aims to pilot a sustainable, resource-saving technology that converts plant by-products into usable components (in particular protein-rich algae biomass) in the immediate area of agricultural operations and to integrate it into daily routine. In the project, side streams from vegetable production are processed via hydrolysis and use of the hydrolysate as a nutrient source...

Bioeconomy: Technology development for the utilisation of residues from food production to produce raw materials for the processing industry. (Project)
Food production generates large quantities of waste materials. The EcoSuccinate project aims to give two residual materials a new purpose: Oat pomace from oat drink production and acid whey from quark production. Succinic acid is to be produced from both residues. This chemical raw material is a much sought-after product. The colourless, crystalline succinic acid is produced in natural processes...

Improving the ecological balance of fruit tree plantations through the use of a green waste-based, co-composted biochar (Project)
The cultivation of tree fruit, such as apples, plays a major role in Brandenburg. However, changes in the climate with long, dry periods of heat in summer are forcing measures to be taken to prevent serious crop failures. A lack of rainfall and increasing pest pressure from migrating insects pose challenges for fruit growers. However, some of the countermeasures lead to increased greenhouse gas...

Agroecological living labs to promote thriving and sustainable agricultural and food systems (Project)
The AllEcoSys project aims to promote sustainable and resilient agricultural systems. To this end, a network of living labs is being set up across Europe. These will facilitate the introduction of agroecological practices for soil health, biodiversity and natural pest and disease control. Through these practices, AllEcoSys aims to support agribusinesses to contribute to sustainable food...

Millet in Brandenburg - Utilisation of the crop under changing climatic conditions (Project)
The project is dedicated to the revitalisation of millet cultivation in Brandenburg under changed climatic conditions. The cultivation methods for the drought-tolerant and undemanding millet (Panicum miliaceum) are being researched and optimised. Comprehensive variety trials are being carried out with around 30 millet varieties, primarily panicum millet, in comparison with other types and related...

Feed development to reduce emissions from ruminant husbandry. (Project)
Methane emissions from ruminants contribute to global greenhouse gas emissions and exacerbate climate change. In principle, optimal feed intake, stable animal welfare and consistent animal health are crucial for sustainable and profitable animal husbandry. The development of feed supplements that can address these problems is an obvious choice. The EcoFutter project aims to address sustainability...

Pesticide effects on the migration and survival of Eurasian Skylarks Alauda arvensis (Project)
This project aims to investigate the effects of pesticides on body condition, migration behaviour and survival of migratory birds. The recent establishment of a large-scale array of receiver stations as part of the MOTUS collaborative initiative in Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Great Britain and the Netherlands opens up new possibilities for the study of migratory bird species that are too small for...

New materials for chromatographic applications (Project)
Chromatography is a chemical process used to separate mixtures of substances into their constituents. The principle of chromatography consists of the interaction of an analyte, i.e. a chemical or biochemical substance, with a stationary phase. The latter captures the analyte, binds it or interacts with it. Examples include ion exchange, hydrophobic interaction, size exclusion or affinity...
