Development of environmentally friendly management methods for red spider mites in small-holder tomato production systems in Eastern and Southern Africa (Phase II) (Projekt)

Tomatoes are one of the most important vegetables in Eastern and Southern Africa whereas in smallholder production system yields are below the crop‘s potential due to low quality seeds, nonavailability of inputs, sub-optimal crop husbandry and a large number of pests and diseases. Red spider mites (Tetranychus evansi - RSM) are one of the most serious dry season pests in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi,...

Development of design unbiased estimators for the restricted k-tree sampling techniques PCM (point-centered quarter method) and T-square sampling (Projekt)

k-tree sampling is frequently applied in ecological sampling; less so in forest inventory for the concern of unbiasedness. A design-unbiased estimator had recently been developed (Kleinn and Vilčko 2006), using inclusion zones that quantify the per-tree selection probability - but that are laborious to determine in the field (higher order Voronoi diagrams). That estimation approach shall be...

Development of conservation agriculture technologies for adoption by smallholders in Central Asia (Projekt)

Improved resource use efficiency and rural livelihoods in the five countries of Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan) through the adoption by farmers of conservation agricultural technologies that support crop diversification and sustainable nutrient management. Purpose: - Alternative crop rotations to ease the competition for crop residues by identifying...

Development of carbon market and conservation financing mechanisms for multifunctional landscape bio-corridors in the Upper Mekong (Projekt)

Goal: To support enhanced and connected multifunctional landscape corridors with both positive livelihood and environmental benefits, managed by smallholder farmers through integrated management and financial mechanisms; and hence contribute to sustainable land-use policies and practices Purpose: To identify and develop landscape corridors, stepping stones, and framework species within secondary...

Development of a muscle specific ultrasound backscatter model to improve the non-invasive assessment of porcine meat quality (Projekt)

Numerous studies indicate relationships of muscle structure and composition with meat quality. Non destructive estimation of such parameters is still unsolved while ultrasound has already proven its potential for livestock applications. Previous investigations conducted by the applicants were promising but yet not satisfying in terms of prediction of meat quality parameters such as IMF, since the...

Development and implementation of a sustainable IPM program for major mango pests and opportunity for improving market information and processing in sub-Saharan Africa (Projekt)

Aim is to enhance food security and income generation capacity in the targeted countries in East and West Africa and to develop and implement in collaboration with international and national partners effective approaches to reduction of mango loses due to insect infestation leading to quality

Developing strategies for application of resampling techniques in QTL mapping experiments with non-random populations (Projekt)

The dissection of complex traits into their underlying genetic components has become a major research area in plant breeding. As a consequence, significant progress has been made in the development of biometric methods for quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis. Experimental studies on detection, mapping and unbiased estimation of QTL effects are generally performed on randomly derived...

Developing rice and sorghum crop adaptation strategies for climate change in vulnerable environments in Africa - RISOCAS (CLIMATE CHANGE) (Projekt)

Goal: To provide operational methodology to measure the impact of climate change scenarios on crop responses for key cereal-based systems of Africa Purpose: To enable policy makers in agricultural research to develop strategies to adapt African agriculture to climate change and to help producers to tactically adapt their system to increased climate variability

Developing high intensity fruit garden agroforestry systems for small-scale farmers of Eastern Africa (Projekt)

Goal: Micronutrient malnutrition concerns many food-insecure households in sub-Saharan Africa, resulting in anaemia, cretinism, and blindness on millions of people. In India, studies of the already existing intensive small-scale fruit garden agroforestry systems yielded an extended tree management knowledge and improved fruit tree varieties, among others. Making available well-adapted quality...
