Resistance analyses of wild potatoes and backcrossing populations with natural Colorado potato beetle infestation in field trials
Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) are an important source of food and raw materials for humans. However, insect pests such as the Colorado potato beetle cause enormous losses in crop yield and quality. The control of the Colorado potato beetle is...
Term: 2024-04-15 bis 2024-11-30Fluxes of pesticides via emerging water insects in agricultural landscapes
Emergence traps are set up at 10 wells of different sizes to collect emergent insects. In addition, water samples are taken for each collection of emergent insects. For the sampling of emergent insects, three sampling campaigns will be carried out...
Term: 2022-03-01 bis 2025-12-31Validation of the usability of zooplankton as a temporal integrator of pesticide contamination in small water bodies
In the project, 30 small standing waters in Germany (Brandenburg) and 30 small standing waters in Spain (Catalonia) are being investigated with regard to the concentrations of pesticides in surface water and zooplankton. The aim is to compare the...
Term: 2024-01-01 bis 2026-12-31German-Colombian Training and Demonstration Project for Agroecology
Project objective: Agroecological approaches with a high impact on food security and the socio-economic situation of marginalized and vulnerable groups as well as on the protection of climate and biodiversity are increasingly available. Expected...
Term: 2024-02-01 bis 2026-12-30Monitoring of small standing waters in Saxony - concept development and exemplary testing
The Saxon coalition agreement provides for an improvement in the ecological and chemical status of water bodies.Exceeding the environmental quality standards of the Surface Waters Ordinance for pesticides but also high levels of other trace...
Term: 2024-03-01 bis 2025-12-31Optimization of chemical-ecologically mediated resistance against the pollen beetle and its introgression into oilseed rape - Subproject 2: Bioassays and chemical characterization
Insect resistance is essential for future cultivation of oilseed rape, as not only are few insecticide compounds available, but current insecticides are also rapidly losing efficacy. To support novel crop protection strategies such as resistant...
Term: 2024-04-01 bis 2027-03-31Quantification of value-added metabolites from wild and cultivated plants using liquid chromatography-based techniques
Analytical protocols for targeted quantification of selected value-added metabolites on basis of liquid chromatography will be developed within this project. These protocols will be applied to support breeding projects. Work of this project...
Term: 2023-12-01 bis 2028-12-31Development of analytical methods on basis of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry for comprehensive metabolite profiling of crop and wild plants
In the frame of this project analytical methods on basis of ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC/ESI-QTOFMS) will be developed, which allow comprehensive metabolite...
Term: 2023-12-01 bis 2028-12-31Implementation of sustainable control strategies against the broad bean weevil (Bruchus rufimanus Boh.) to ensure seed quality for domestic production of broad beans (Vicia faba L.)
The promotion of the field bean as a native grain legume is not only a relevant pillar of the protein strategy of the Federal Republic of Germany, but also an important tool for reducing the use of PPPs and mineral fertilisers due to its positive...
Term: 2024-01-01 bis 2027-03-31Fate and transport of pesticides in the river Elbe
The project focuses on the transregional transport and fate of pesticide active substances in water bodies. Based on the findings of previous studies of pesticide contamination in small water bodies of the agricultural landscape by JKI-ÖPV within...
