Genomic characterisation of endangered pig breeds as the basis for sustainable breeding schemes in organic farming - Universität Kassel (Project)

Livestock production is undergoing a profound transformation. Changing societal demands for the agricultural production of high-quality food, new housing conditions, and environmental changes, particularly those driven by climate change, are causing a significant paradigm shift. Aspects of regional production, ensuring higher animal welfare standards, high animal health, and low-emission...

Genomic characterisation of endangered pig breeds as the basis for sustainable breeding schemes in organic farming - FLI (Project)

Livestock production is undergoing a profound transformation. Changing societal demands for the agricultural production of high-quality food, new housing conditions, and environmental changes, particularly those driven by climate change, are causing a significant paradigm shift. Aspects of regional production, ensuring higher animal welfare standards, high animal health, and low-emission...

Healthy vines (Vitis vinifera) in organic viticulture by means of research, innovation and transfer (Project)

The control of downy mildew, caused by Plasmopara viticola, is one of the major challenges in viticulture, especially in organic viticulture. Due to the ban of copper-containing pesticides and massive impacts of climate change, organic viticulture is increasingly entering an economic crisis. Therefore, the aim of the proposed joint project 'VitiFIT' is to develop a catalogue of measures with...

Innovative RNAi-based plant protection technologies for horticulture - Universität Hohenheim (Project)

The project aims at the optimization and validation of an innovative, GMO-free biopesticide spray technology that uses species-specific dsRNA to enable targeted and wide-ranging application for crop protection in agricultural systems and horticulture. By merging interdisciplinary expertises in phytopathology, molecular biology, entomology, and material sciences, a prototype of this dsRNA spray...

Use of ice-binding proteins in yeast dough to improve baking properties after frozen storage (Project)

Nowadays, many frozen products are used throughout the production chain to supply the population with baked goods, especially for bread roll dough. This is generally to be welcomed, as it allows a flexible response to consumer demand and counteracts food waste at bakeries, retailers and consumers. However, fresh yeast dough is rarely frozen due to the massive loss of quality after freezing and...

Breeding resilient apple and pear varieties for organic cultivation (Project)

The BioResiObst research project aims to reduce the use of plant protection measures in pome fruit cultivation by breeding durable resistant apple and pear varieties and to optimize organic fruit breeding through innovative measures. During the project period, the evaluation of results from already existing cross-breeding populations of the project partner apfel:gut e.V. is to be intensified. For...

Predetermination of elite stock plants by addition of protein-hydrolysates in sterile culture media (Project)

Vegetative propagation chains are based on elite material, which must be phytopathologically clean. In vitro methods are therefore the rule in the main crops (potatoes, raspberries, strawberries). With the bioappropriate conversion from in-vitro techniques (BioVitro), we use FiBL-listed bio-fertilizers on a protein basis for media preparation without using synthetic components (nutrient salts,...

Regulation of fungus gnats in organic production of potted plants - Innovative approaches for the estimation of attractiveness of growing media to fungus gnats and for the development of comprehensive strategies for their control by beneficial organisms - JKI (Project)

Fungus gnats can be a significant problem in organic cultivation of potted plants. Due to a high percentage of peat substitutes and organic fertilization, growing media used in organic production are very attractive for fungus gnats and encourage mass reproduction. Subsequently, the feeding activity of larvae at the roots and stems causes severe damages. Additionally, adults might spread...
