Collaborative project: Innovative model approaches for improved nitrogen use efficiency and lowered GHG-emission in oilseed rape production systems - subproject 1 (ModelLowN)
Project
Project code: 281B200116
Contract period: 15.08.2018

The objective of ModelLowN was to improve the N- and GHG-balance of future winter oilseed rape varieties as a contribution to meeting the goals of the Climate Change Plan. Test hybrids resulting from crossing a microNAM population with two testers were used to study N-efficiency. Conventional and sensor-based phenotyping and environmental data were collected in 2-year and multi-site field trials under "low N" and coupled with genotyping data to achieve stepwise, hypothesis-driven modeling of yield of populations and derived test hybrids. Genotypically parameterized process models were used to generate trait hypotheses. Basic principles for multispectral, drone-based field phenotyping in rapeseeed were developed. The developed genotypes and prediction models will be implemented in practice in the future to accelerate the breeding of high-yielding varieties with a better N- and GHG-balance.
