Reduction of copper-containing pesticides in organic viticulture: investigations into innovative copper formulations with high reduction potential and developing strategies to their specific application to the grapevine (Project)

Copper is prevalently used in organic agriculture in several specialized crops as a plant protection product. Especially largescale specialized cultures like apple, hops and wine are dependent upon copper containing plant protection products to protect their crops against a variety of pathogens. Copper is mainly used against oomycota like the Downy Mildew of hops or grape and the agent of the...

Agriculture on organic farms in Germany (Project)

The project aims to develop strategies to promote agriculture as a social perspective, especially for organic farms. Study and research results showed that organic farms are well suited for the integration of people can not come from agriculture. Mainly due to the operating structure and the relatively large variety of employment opportunities especially organic farms can therefore also be useful...

Status quo analysis: identification of research needs for organic farming (Project)

The aim of the project is to provide an overview of existing long-term field experiments in organic farming in Germany and neighboring countries or the same soil-climate areas. Long-term field experiments allow to map responses of soils in different management methods and measures over a longer period and thus present even slower changes. This is especially important for organic farming, as...

Genomics assisted breeding in sunflower for better yield potential, stability and efficiency (SUNRISE), sub-project A (Project)

The project SUNRISE aims at broadening the spectrum of crops for oil production in European markets. Within the project fundamentals for genomics-assisted breeding are to be established as the ultimate prerequisite for long-term competitiveness of sunflower. To identify resistance genes against Plasmopara halstedi (Farlow) Berlese & de Toni, the causal agent of downy mildew in sunflower,...

Enhancing the economic value of organically produced cash crops by optimizing the management of soil fertility (Project)

With the funding for this project (WP4) is to be fulfilled the following purposes: WP 4 will deal with soil compaction and processing and their influence on the yield and N2 fixing performance of the legumes, the soil water balance and the occurrence of plant diseases. The aim is to derive recommendations for site-specific operational and optimal intensity of tillage and minimizing mechanical...

Enhancing the economic value of organically produced cash crops by optimizing the management of soil fertility (Project)

Research priorities of the WP 2, firstly, the increasing power of assimilation and symbiotic N2 fixation by legumes. Secondly, investigations are carried out with the purpose to improve the selective application of carbon-rich agricultural fertilizer with new technical methods, the soil health. The experimental positions on this topic consist of both the system of field trials over two to three...

Tomatoes for organic farming in field farming - breeding methodology and regional variety development (Project)

Outdoor tomato production in private and market gardens in Germany is severely restricted by late blight (Phytophthora infestans). In close contact with genebanks, NGOs, seed trade and private seed savers 92 varieties were selected out of 3500 accessions for comparative trials at 3 locations in central and northwestern Germany. The best accessions were tested each year at more than 25 locations....

Studies on quality changes during processing and storage of selected products from organic and conventionally produced trout trout as a prerequisite for the development of a practical aid for artisan trout farms (Project)

The study dealt with the investigation of the rearing conditions incl. comparative feeding experiments and the evaluation of the product quality of portion size trout. Two ecologically certified and three conventional trout farms were examined. The development of different parameters of water chemistry at the in- and outlets of ponds incl. temperature, oxygen, pH, ammonia, nitrite, total and...
