Transfer of the measurement methodology from novel spraying and misting devices to the wind tunnel
The conventional flat fan nozzle on the field sprayer boom with a nozzle-to-nozzle spacing of 50 cm and target area spacing of 50 cm is currently still the standard. In an increasing number of newer field sprayers, the nozzle-to-nozzle distance has...

DigiVine will examplary show digital technologie with in the value network of viticulture from planting until grape delivery and test these technologies with users. The interdisciplinary team will support the interaction of research and development,...
Term: 2019-11-05 bis 2025-04-30Bystander 2.0 - future-oriented application techniques
The aim of the project is to collect data (dermal and inhalation) for estimating the exposure of bystanders and residents to spray mist during the application of plant protection products (PPP) in vertical crops. Due to limited available data, the...
Term: 2023-10-01 bis 2027-09-30Sustainable winter oilseed rape cultivation through breeding improvement of the NUE and optimization of the cultivation system
The project pursues the hypotheses that both the individual factors i) genotype, ii) fertilizer form and iii) sowing technique, but especially a coordinated combination of the factors mentioned, can influence the reduction of N-balance surpluses at...
Term: 2023-08-15 bis 2026-08-14Development of a biodegradable mulch cover for crop protection
The main instrument to be developed in the sustainable concept will be a new type of mulch cover made from renewable resources with optically active (insect repellent) properties, which will be tested under practical conditions in a system for...
Term: 2023-10-01 bis 2026-09-30Testing of seeders regarding dust drift
Seeders must be able to reduce the drift of abraded chemical dust by at least 90% compared to a conventional seeder with vacuum singling. This is tested by JKI upon request using a suitable field test method. Seeder types complying with this...
Term: 2009-01-01 bis 2029-12-31Sprayer classification for saving of plant protection products based on deposit and efficacy trials in orchards and viticulture
The joint research project is focusing on saving plant protection products (ppps) in orchards and viticulture. For this purpose, a sprayer classification for saving pesticides will be developed based on deposit and efficacy trials. Measurements of...
Term: 2021-10-01 bis 2024-12-31Evaluation of tracer substances and their suitability for fluorometric analysis
In the case of BSF, the substances used for analysis are subject to batch-dependent fluctuations in fluorescence. Additionally, despite consistent molar mass, changes in consistency can lead to issues with applicability in different measurement...
