Plant biomass waste recycling through application of biochar from hydrothermal carbonization (HTC-biochar) on agricultural land as soil amendment and for carbon sequestration (Collaborative project)

In Germany, considerable amounts of plant biomass waste are composted today. In this process, carbon losses are significant resulting in a substantial release of greenhouse gases. Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of plant biomass and utilization of HTC-biochar on agricultural land may offer the potential to decrease greenhouse gas emission thereby mitigating climate change. Moreover, addition of...

Lyssavirus Research Network (Collaborative project)

The proposed project uses a hypothesis-driven approach focusing on lyssavirus dynamics and maintenance, virus evolution and diversity, as well as host biology, to afford a significant progress in neglected zoonotic disease prediction and intervention. Understanding natural reservoirs and sources of lyssaviruses as well as the mechanisms these viruses have developed to spill over into...

EVA - Development and comparison of locally adapted production systems for energy crops in Germany (Collaborative project)

Aims to develop renewable energies and incentives for their implementation have opened many farms additional opportunities in recent years in the area of crop production from raw materials. The joint project 'Development and comparison of locally adapted production systems for energy crops' has accompanied this process since its launch in 2005 with a variety of applied problems. The main goal was...

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

The aim of this project is to deal with the topic soil fertility and plant nutrition in the frame of an interdisciplinary concept. The project is focused on organic cash crop farms which are run stockless or with a low stocking rate. The purpose of the project is the increase of soil fertility by the interaction of different action strategies. In this context, different aspects such as the...

Joint project: development and review of confinement strategies for rape (Collaborative project)

Seeds of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) can persist in the soil over several years by becoming secondarily dormant. Then they can germinate in the following crops as volunteers. Gene dispersal and seed admixtures through the presence of volunteer rape in a field, particularly in another oilseed rape crop, can be an unwanted effect. The main aim of the project is to investigate whether “low-“ or...
