Collaborative project: Potential medium- and long-term effects of the projected climate change on plant diseases and on fungicide efficacy in field crops in Germany - subproject 2 (SIMKLIMA)
Project
Project code: 281B202716
Contract period: 01.09.2018
- 31.10.2021
Budget: 126,602 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: plant protection risk assessment, climate change effects, long term effects, pathogen range, barley, rye, triticale, wheat, potato, lupine, oilseed rape, sugar beet
The aim of this project is to simulate the potential effects of climate change, particularly increased air temperature and changing precipitation patterns, on the future risk of economically important plant diseases in field crops in Germany. This risk assessment will be the first one, which will include all major German Federal States, where field crops are grown. In addition, a literature survey will be conducted related to the potential effects of climate change on the future risk of field crop diseases worldwide in order to compare the results gained under climate change conditions in Germany with other countries. Moreover, likely effects of climate change on the efficacy of fungicides applied in field crops will be investigated, both, theoretically on an international scale and experimentally under controlled conditions. The aim is to establish a knowledge base related to the potential effects of climate change on fungicide efficacy, to our knowledge, not yet conducted worldwide. Focus will be on temperature, water, CO2, light, wind, and other abiotic environmental factors which might influence the efficacy of fungicides. Biotic factors including host plant and pathogen development will be considered as well. All results which will be collected within this project from July 2018 to June 2021, will contribute to the ultimate goal to perform a risk assessment of the future occurrence and intensity of to date economically important plant diseases in Germany related to the crops barley, rye, triticale, wheat, potato, lupine, oilseed rape, and sugar beet. If the simulated risk of a certain field crop disease will increase in the future due to projected climatic changes in Germany, mitigation and adaptation measures will be developed in order to manage the increased risk of the relevant field crop disease, whereby preventive and direct plant protection methods will be considered.
