Collaborative project: Optimizing the gap switching of an orchard sprayer as a pre condition for the accurate spraying of plant protection products - subproject 2 (Project)

As part of the three year project, the main focus was to reduce the use of plant protection products in intensive horticultural production systems for ecological and economical optimization. The aim should be pursued by developing sprayer prototypes equipped with improved sensory gap detection. During the project, three sprayers with different fan types were equipped with optimized sensors,...

Collaborative project: Definition, recording and optimization of parameters for electrical stunning of slaughter pigs under aspects of animal welfare and meat quality - subproject 2 (Project)

In the project to optimize the manual and fully-automated electrical stunning of slaughter pigs adverse effects to meat quality should be restricted by modifications of stun parameters while ensuring that legal and professional requirements on humane stunning (efficiency, duration) are met. The applied electrical charge, simultaneously investigated with animal-based indicators, should be...

Collaborative project: Measuring system for an automated early diagnosis of lameness in cattle through analysis of the sound of movement in cattle - subproject 2 (Project)

Animal welfare is one oft he most important quality indicators in livestock production for many consumers and of rapidly growing social relevance. Still measuring animal welfare can be quite difficult. An important factor for animal welfare in cattle farming is the detection of lameness, which is caused by diseases of the claws and limbs. The aim of this project is therefore to develop a system...

Collaborative project: Upgrading from Bestandsbiogasanlagen to flexible energy producers through a demand-oriented modification of the biogas production. Subproject 2: experimentation in the laboratory scale (Project)

The research project makes to the task, the demand-oriented, dynamic biogas production, without modification of the installation technique of Bestandsbiogasanlagen (without additional capital expenditures!) to investigate. This feeding concepts (business management concepts) for Bestandsbiogasanlagen can be derived. For performance parameters of dynamic biogas production in laboratory facilities,...

Autonomous robot platform for planting, care and long-term mapping of Christmas tree cultures (WeBaRo) – subproject 2 (Project)

Conventional Christmas tree cultivation is very labour-intensive and is also characterised by a high use of pesticides during rearing. In terms of sustainable and economic cultivation, both factors can be seen as a major challenge. In order to meet these challenges, the WeBaRo project is developing and testing a cost-effective, autonomous robot carrier platform that enables resource-saving,...

Characterization of the genetic and enzymatic potential of biogas microbiomes by meta-analysis of metagenome datasets, subproject 2 - Phylogenetic and functional microbiome meta-analyses (Project)

In anaerobic digestion of biomass, a huge number of microbial species is involved possessing a wide variety of metabolic properties. However, a major part of the species that can be detected in biogas reactors has not been adequately characterized either in terms of its specific substance conversion properties or in terms of its respective ecological role within the microbiological system....

Collaborative project: Digital management support systems for small and medium-sized enterprises in value chains of ornamental plants, perennials and cut flowers - subproject 2 (Project)

The PlantGrid project aimed to develop a digital management support system for small companies in the value chains of ornamental plants, perennials and cut flowers. The project showed that modern machine learning algorithms can be effectively used for forecasting the sales of individual ornamental plants and the turnover of companies. Additionally, digital tools are helpful for organising...

Improving availability of food for honey bees and blossom-visiting insects by attracting long-flowering perennials gaining energy and increasing biodiversity - project term 2 (Project)

Many of the approximately 550 bee and bumblebee species have become rare or threatened with extinction due to lack of food supply. Because of their important function as pollinators, this can have serious economic consequences. For the honeybee, the lack of pollen in August / September is particularly problematic because it affects the rearing of winter bees. The massive decline in insect...

Collaborative project: Maintenance of open landscapes through target-oriented habitat and wildlife management – integrating free-ranging red deer in open land management. Subproject 2 (Project)

The existing variety of ecologically important habitats and communities in Central-European cultural landscapes is largely the result of historic, extensive types of agricultural land-use systems. The constant, long-term use and formation of these areas through humans is a vital base for biological diversity in present-day cultural landscapes. Substantial changes in land-use systems have made it...
