Investigation of epidemiology of soil-borne viruses in triticale with the objective of development virus resistant cultivars with high biomass yields for extraction of biogas and ethanol, sub project 2: Development of virus-resistant varieties with high biomass yields
Project
Project code: 22000812
Contract period: 01.03.2012
- 31.10.2015
Budget: 123,850 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Triticale exhibits a high yield potential and is a potential cereal for the efficiently production of biomass for the extraction of biogas and ethanol in line with using conceptions of peripheral bio energy. The production of triticale is heavy at risk by soil-borne virus in many growing areas. The plant health is a main precondition for the stable use of triticale as renewable resource. The JKI undertake the task to clarify epidemiological aspects of pathogens and to develop pest control proposals. The project promotion could make a contribution to establishment basics for breeding of high-output energy plants for the cultivation in infested by soil-borne viruses fields. This project supports the BMEL efforts in the respect to the development of measures to ensure the further utilization of triticale growing areas, heavily infested with soil-borne viruses, to stabilize the cultivation of triticale in such locations with the aim to produce profitable renewable raw.
