Collaborative project: Management of herbicide-resistant weeds - diagnosis and detection of herbicide-resistant weed populations in the field, GIS-based documentation, risk analysis and recommendations for management decisions - subproject 2 (Project)

Herbicide-resistant weed species worldwide spread and present a serious problem for farmers. Costs for weed control increase and farmers are facing with significant yield losses because of weed competition. The partners DuPont de Nemours, IDENTXX GmbH, University of Hohenheim and Heinz Walz GmbH aimed to develop and test a new sensor system for detecting herbicide resistant weed species in the...

Joint project: Downy mildew and other harmful fungi to sage; Subproject 2: Development and initiation of various emergency measures to combat downy salviae-officinalis and Phoma exigua exigua var. (Project)

Since antique times sage (Salvia officinalis) has been used as a medicinal plant to cure many different diseases. Sage is an important niche culture in Germany providing high revenues through a complex value chain. Because sage is a perennial plant, and all plant organs (stem, leaf, flower, root) are used for a variety of medical products, pathogen control is crucially important in the case of...

Joint Project: Development of an in vitro embryo toxicity tests with mouse embryonic stem cells: Subproject 1 - Analysis of embryotoxic effects in the light of new endpoints and metabolism using an expanded selection of materials (Project)

Improving a murine embryonic stem cell-based in vitro embryotoxicity test (phase II): Incorporation of cellular metabolism, establishment of new developmental endpoints and extension to new substance classes Assessing toxicity of chemicals for development and the reproductive cycle requires extensive screening and multi-generation studies. For chemicals used as drugs, segment studies have to be...

WASCAL (West African Science Service Center on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use). Work Package 6.1 Development of a spatially explicit framework for land use impact modeling based on trade-off- and multi criteria analysis (Project)

The resilience of the SES depends on multiple drivers that all influence the supply of regulating, supporting and provisioning ecosystem services. Based on a set of indicators for the relevant bio-physical and socio-economic driving forces of the SES, the likely implications of different development scenarios in combination with future climate projections will be analyzed within an integrated...

Development and implementation of sustainable strategies to improve food-safety and retain nutritional values by reducing fungal infestation and aflatoxin contamination in the food-chain in Kenya as model region for Sub-Sahara Africa. Subproject 1 (Project)

Maize and milk are food products which are highly accepted and commonly consumed by the African population. Unfortunately, both staples, livestock feed and milk, have been found to be frequently and heavily contaminated by fungal aflatoxins, and people are continuously exposed to levels which are far above the recommended levels. Nevertheless the consumption of these products is tending to...
