Collaborative project: Sustainable maintenance of grain maize production by improving classical resistance against the European corn borer– Subproject 2 (Project)

Aim of the project was to implement resistance against the European Corn Borer (ECB; Ostrinia nubilalis Hb.) in maize. ECB is a major pest in maize and is advantaged in development and spreading over Europe by global warming. In this context resistance breeding is one of the most important strategies to reduce yield loss by ECB. The project focused on two main objectives: The genetic...

Collaborative project: Marker assisted selection for the improvement of plant architecture and inflorescence size in chrysanthemum – Subproject 2 (Project)

The aims of this project were the development of molecular markers for complex ornamental traits (flower shape and size and shoot branching) and the optimization of the seed set in the chrysanthemum. Therefore, the phenotypic and genetic diversity was analysed in a collection of chrysanthemum cultivars. These results were used to establish three biparental populations, that were derived from...

Developing a strategy to Virulenzmanagement the codling moth and the regulation of the codling moth in organic orchards 2 (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 2 (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...

Development of harmonised survey methods for foodborne pathogens in foodstuffs in the European Union (CFP/EFSA/Zoonoses/2008/2) (Project)

The objective of the project is to develop harmonised survey methods for the most common food-borne pathogens, such as Salmonella, Campylobacter, Listeria monocytogenes, verotoxigenic Escherichia coli and Yersinia spp., in foodstuffs in order to collect data under the Directive 2003/99/EC. These harmonised survey methods must be, when possible, applicable to all these pathogens, shall be...

Collaborative project: Managment tool for a systematic collection and an increase efficiency in dairy livestock farming - subproject 2 (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...
