Control of stem rust in rye, Puccinia graminis f. sp. secalis, by breeding resistant cultivars in Organic Agriculture (Project)

Organic Agriculture (OA) is especially affected by the increasing spread of stem rust in rye, Puccinia graminis f. sp. secalis, because there is a lack of resistant cultivars in Germany. To analyze the virulence situation of rye stem rust 389 single-pustule-isolates (SPI) were established of which 323 were tested with a differential set consisting of 15 lines. The 323 SPI were classified into 226...

Italian chicory and Sugarloaf (Chicorium intybus var. foliosum) – development of populations and evaluation of breeding methods useful for organic horticulture (Project)

Radicchio and sugarloaf (Cichorium intybus var. foliosum) are important outdoor leafy vegetables for harvest late in the season and storage. The choice of cultivars for organic production is rather limited. Only a few open pollinated cultivars are available. Another aspect supporting the need for new open pollinated cultivars is the development of cms hybrids deriving from cell fusion in...

Collaborative project: Breeding and development of open-pollinated broccoli varieties for organic horticulture with regard to agronomic characteristics and sensory properties. Subproject 2 (Project)

The project aim was to test and select genotypes and traditional open pollinating varieties of broccoli (no hybrids or CMS-hybrids) for suitable for organic farming. Selection criteria were agronomic parameters like stability of yield, uniformity, harvesting period, firmness of heads and high levels of bioactive health benefitting compounds in the plant material. In addition, to make the breeding...

Population breeding for adaptability through diversity and participatory on-farm selection of winter wheat (Project)

'Genotype-Environment interactions are more pronounced in organic than in conventional agriculture and will be further enhanced by climate change. Varieties for organic farming systems of the future will have to be highly flexible to deal with evolving pathogens and highly unpredictable climatic conditions. This will require new breeding approaches aiming at producing locally adaptable and highly...

New knowledge for organic working farmers - events for knowledge transfer - qualification program by experts in organic agriculture in the states of Thuringia, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt (Project)

'The main objective of this project is the qualification of actors (producer, manufacture and retailer) in the organic agriculture business. Because of the small amount of qualification possibilities in the field of organic agricultural in the federal states Thuringia, Saxony and Saxony, the Thüringer Ökoherz and their mentioned project partner will provide all together three expert conferences...

Analysis of the state of knowledge on quality, consumer protection and processing of organic food (Project)

The aim of the project was to reveal and evaluate the current state of knowledge of the processing and quality of organic food, and of consumer protection. The project team consisted of scientists from the Forschungsinstitut für biologischen Landbau (Research Institute of Organic Agriculture – Germany and Switzerland) and Frick), the Büro für Lebensmittelkunde, Forschungsring für...

Ensuring of the yield potential of lucerne-clover-grass-mixtures by improving the current sulphur availability on ecologically managed areas – situation and importance under practical conditions (Project)

The aim of the project was to assess the demand for sulphur fertilization in organic arable farming in Germany. Sulphur availability impacts on biological nitrogen fixation in legume stands, which is the basic principle of nitrogen management in organic farming. In former times, considerable amounts of sulphur have been supplied by atmospheric deposition, but immissions decreased due to advances...
