MonViA - National monitoring of biodiversity in agricultural landscapes - Subproject "Biodiversity of small freshwaters"
Small freshwater systems in agricultural landscapes are vulnerable to inputs of plant protection products and fertilizers. Therefore, the fauna in these water bodies can be severely impaired. This is crucial, since small freshwaters host the largest...

Term: 2016-07-01 bis 2027-12-31Knowledge portal under the JKI homepage "Gentle chemical plant protection for beneficials"
The scientific risk assessment of plant protection products with regard to their effects on beneficial arthropods (except bees) is intended to enable the selection of products that are gentle to beneficial insects within the framework of integrated...
Term: 2016-06-01 bis 2027-12-31Risk assessment of the effects of plant protection products on beneficial organisms, issuing of labelling proposals within the framework of registration
In the national approval procedure for plant protection products, the JKI is the consulting authority for, among other things, the assessment of the effects on beneficial arthropods (PflSchG §57, paragraph 9). On the basis of the studies submitted...
Term: 2016-01-01 bis 2027-12-31The host finding behavior of the larval parasitoid Holepyris sylvanidis and its implementation into integrated pest management as biological control agent of stored product pest beetle
The search for environmentally friendly control measures against pest organisms are general trends in agriculture and insofar, also in stored-product protection. The use of semiochemicals and beneficial arthropods represent two biologically based...
Term: 2016-01-01 bis 2025-12-31Effects of plant protection products on activity and behavior of freshwater organsims
To evaluate the effect of pollutants such as pesticides or emerging contaminants in agricultural waters, continuous real-time monitoring of sensitive pointer animal species and their behavioral reactions is essential. As part of this project, the...
