SFB 564: B2.4 - Probabilistic assessment of the environmental fate of agrochemicals under varying land use in a watershed in Northern Thailand (Project)
This subproject aims at assessing the impact of different land use and management options on the loss of agrochemicals from the Mae Sa watershed together with the respective uncertainties. For this purpose, the SWAT model will be coupled with the multi-agent model operated by G1. The results, essentially pesticide loads and concentrations as well as the effectiveness of reduction strategies...

SFB 564: B5.2 - Transport of agrochemicals in a watershed in Northern Vietnam (Project)
In North Vietnam, lowland and upland paddy rice production systems are a major source of agrochemical pollution to surface and ground water. Subproject B5.2 aims at measuring and modeling the water regime and transport of agrochemicals in integrated farming systems in the Chieng Khoi watershed, Son La province. Modeling will be used for evaluating the risk and potential of water pollution across...

Investigation of metabolites of the tobacco specific nitrosamine NNK, acrylamide and acrolein in urine of smokers of waterpipes (Project)
The use of waterpipes increased recently among the youth in Germany. The knowledge about health hazards is very limited. Beside the metabolites of polycyclic aromatic hydrocar-bons the tobacco-specific nitrosamines as well as acrylamide and Acrolein play an important role in the toxicology of cigarette smoke. Nothing is known about these compounds in the smoke of waterpipes. The urine of...

SFB 564: B2.3 - Transport of agrochemicals in a watershed in Northern Thailand (Project)
Land use changes of the last decades in the mountainous regions of Northern Thailand have been accompanied by an increased input of agrochemicals, which might be transferred to rivers by surface and/or subsurface flow. Where the river water is used for household consumption, irrigation and other purposes, agrochemical losses pose a serious risk to the environment and food safety. In the first and...

SFB 564: A1.4 - Potential and constraints of participatory research approaches: Fostering multi-stakeholder knowledge and innovation partnerships (Project)
The overall objective of subproject A1.4 is to analyze the enabling factors and conditions through which durable, interactive and multi-stakeholder knowledge and innovation partnerships towards sustainable land use and sustainable rural development in mountainous regions of Thailand and Vietnam can be fostered that involve farmers, scientists and other actors in various knowledge domains. An...

SFB 564: F1.1 - Resource tenure and management of natural resources in mountainous regions of Northern Thailand and Northwest Vietnam (Project)
In this subproject the effects of access to land on management of natural resources in highland regions of Southeast Asia are analysed drawing on case studies in selected watersheds of Northern Thailand and Northern Vietnam. The policies with regard to land tenure regimes in mountainous regions differ significantly between Thailand and Vietnam. Whereas Thailand largely neglects land use rights of...

SFB 564: B3.2 - Irrigation and fertigation strategies for water saving and optimum nutrient supply in subtropical fruit orchards utilising stress responses (strategic irrigation) (Project)
Irrigation and fertigation are main management tools in fruit tree production. Due to the scarcity of water and its susceptibility to contamination with agrochemicals, the objective of subproject B3.2 is to reduce water and fertilizer application without reducing farmers’ benefits. Results from SFB-phase II indicate, that moderate levels of water and nutrient stress can be used to improve orchard...

SFB 564: D7.1 - Research of improved fish nutrition and fish health in upland aquaculture systems in Yen Chau, Son La Province, Vietnam (Project)
Aquaculture contributes to protein supply and cash income of Black Thai farmers in Yen Chau, Son La province, Northern Vietnam. The productivity of the current aquaculture system, i.e. the polyculture of grass carp and 3-5 other fish species and the use of green leaves, manure and crop residues as fish feeds, is limited mainly by two factors: A so far unknown disease of grass carp and the lack of...

SFB 564: B5.1 - Fate of agrochemicals in integrated farming systems in Son-La province, Northern Vietnam (Project)
In Son La province, Northern Vietnam, many irrigated farming systems include ponds in which small-scale farmers raise fish to produce additional food and income. The main field crops in this area are paddy rice and maize. Often, irrigation water is first used in paddy fields, before it flows to the fishponds. Because farmers regularly apply considerable amounts of agrochemicals, mainly...
