Collaborative project: Cost-effective, autonomous platform for mechanical weed control of sensible crops planted at variable intervals in tree nurseries - Subproject 2 (Project)

In the AMU-Bot project, an automated, intelligent and economical solution for weed control in nursery crops was developed to interrupt the competition for nutrients between weeds and crops, especially in young growth stages. Building on the results of the "AgriApps" project, a robust and electrified mobile platform was developed that is capable of moving within planting rows in nursery crops....

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...

Collaborative project: Development of a climate-based prognosis model to predict the risk of Nosema-infection of the honey bee - subproject 2 (Project)

Aim of the project is the creation of a model for the correlation of climatic factors with prevalence and virulence data of Nosema spp. infections in German honey bees which shall be used for the prediction of the risk of bees of becoming infected with Nosemosis. The prevalence of Nosema apis and N. ceranae in selected bee hives is monitored over the year, and data from the last decade, provided...

WASCAL (West African Science Service Center on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use). Work Package 6.2 Agent-based models for integrated assessment (Project)

The overall aim of WASCAL is to identify resilient and adaptive/adapted land-use systems and how these can be fostered. We substantiated this aim through the proposed work package by the sub-goal to identify resilient long-term land-use strategies of land users. As resilience is largely determined by the dynamics and feedbacks within and between the social, the economic and the environmental...

Collaborative project: Fungicide resistance in the grey mould fungus Botrytis cinerea: identification of causes and development of anti-resistance strategies - Subproject 2 (Project)

"Botrytis cinerea is the major pathogen in German soft fruit production and needs to be chemically controlled. In recent years, B. cinerea has developed fungicide resistance which increasingly compromised fungicide efficacy. In a three years innovation project (2013-15) funded by the BMEL, field, greenhouse and laboratory experiments were performed to determine the causes of fungicide resistance...

Collaboration project: Reduction of fungicide treatment in sugar beet seed pellets against Aphanomyces cochlioides by use of plant resistance traits - Subproject 2 (Project)

A. cochlioides is one of the most important pathogens in sugar beet worldwide and causes an acute seedling damping-off and a chronic root rot resulting in severe yield and quality losses. To reduce the use of fungicides for disease control in the future, it is necessary to identify resistance factors in sugar beet and develop molecular markers for more efficient and specific breeding. To...

Collaborative project: Genetic improvement of resistance to ear fusariosis in early maturing maize by QTL mapping in multi-line crosses – Subproject 2 (Project)

Ear rot caused by the fungus Fusarium graminearum, is an important disease in maize resulting in contamination of the grain by mycotoxins, mainly deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEA). Resistant cultivars are the best option for controlling this disease. Aim of this study was to identify genomic regions (QTL, quantitative trait loci) with effect on disease resistance by molecular markers. We...

Collaborative project: Development of a rain sensor for kinetic energy and water wettness to improve scab prognosis in apple cultivation – Subproject 2 (Project)

The cooperation project was performed with a company for meteorological devices (Thies Clima, Göttingen) and a federal research institution (Julius Kühn-Institute, Institute for plant protection in fruit crops and viticulture, Dossenheim). Innovative sensors for kinetic energy of rain and leaf wetness are the requirements to improve scab prognosis in view of the efficiency in scheduling fungicide...
