Quantifying the water use of energy crops (Project)

In light of an expected general warming and increasing summer drought, crops with a high water use efficiency level are continuing to increase in importance. In this project Sudan grass hybrids, fodder sorghum and silage maize are compared with regard to their water use efficiency. The experiment is conducted under a foil tunnel at different soil water content in order to answer the question...

Response of soil biological and soil chemical parameters of a field soil to atmospheric CO2-enrichment (FACE) (Project)

One goal of the THE BRAUNSCHWEIG CARBON PROJECT (FACE) is, to help to minimize the up to date insufficient knowledge on the global carbon balance under an increased concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Particularly with respect to the C-fluxes in the atmosphere-plant-soil system of cultivated land there are particularly open questions. One aspect of FACE is concerned with the question if...

Regulation and control of the formation of wood and cell walls in trees under climatic stress and in the tropics as well as in genetically modified trees (Project)

Tree-line ecotones in Scandinavia and in Alpine regions are vulnerable ecosystems where trees respond highly sensitive to climate variations. By means of weekly or bi-weekly wounding of the cambium (?pinning? technique) during the vegetation period, histologically visible tissue modifications are induced enabling the determination of onset, intensity and end of wood formation, but also aspects of...

Influence of plant fertilization on the release of climate relevant trace gases (Project)

Desulfurization of fumes caused a drastic decline of atmospheric sulfur (S) depositions to agricultural systems in northern Europe and average meanwhile

Influence of temperatere and distribution of nematodes on population dynamics and demage (Project)

The effects of temperature changes (climate change) on population dynamics and harmful effects of nematodes will be investigated

Influence of abiotic stress and climatic changes on quality of agricultural products (Project)

Even today in Central Europe abiotic stress factors (high or low temperatures, drought etc.) are relevant regarding yield and quality of agricultural crops. Possible climatic changes which lead to more extreme weather situations will increase this problem in future. The aim of this project is the investigation of the influence of different environmental factors on quality characteristics of our...

Application of bio-composts for reduction of Rhizoctonia solani in potatoes (Project)

Field trials at the University of Kassel-Witzenhausen have shown a clear reduction of Rhizoctonia solani after the application of bio-composts. The infection of potatoes with R. solani is an increasing problem in the production of organically grown potatoes and the farmers sustain high economical losses, because highly infested potatoes are not marketable. This applies to seed potatoes as well,...

Development of 'Good Agricultural Practices' for crop husbandry (Project)

General project, investigating different aspects of 'Good Agricultural Practices'.

Development of a method for fast comprehensive acquisition of economically relevant quality parameters of fresh and dried plant material by NIR-spectrometry (Project)

The aim of these investigations is the acquisition of feed related traits including fermentation quality parameters of fresh silages from grass to avoid fermentation associated losses of volatile products during drying as well as high energy costs.
