Network for the conservation and promotion of the adaptability of crops
The aim of the project is to develop a method for preserving and utilising barley that was originally intended for wheat. To this end, new structures are to be created that complement the existing storage in gene banks. The idea behind this is to...
Term: 2022-07-01 bis 2027-04-30Non-chemical management of pest rodents in carrot crops
The aims of the project are to develop and test non-chemical methods for minimising damage caused by rodents in carrot crops. New methods for plant protection in organic farming as well as for integrated cropping are to be developed. The focus is on...
Term: 2022-11-01 bis 2026-03-31Sustainable winter oilseed rape production through breeding improvement of the NUE and optimization of the cultivation system
In NAWIRA, it is foreseen to initially grow 300 test hybrids at different locations under different N levels and two different N fertilization regimes (nitrate- vs. ammonium-emphasized) and use them as a training data set for genomic selection...
Term: 2023-08-15 bis 2026-08-14FAIRagro - FAIR Data Infrastructure for Agrosystems
Existing agricultural research data infrastructures (RDI) are heterogeneous, not networked, and lack uniform standards for research data management (RDM). Research data are often stored locally or in non-accessible repositories due to a lack of...
Term: 2023-03-01 bis 2028-02-29Model and demonstration project to strengthen functional biodiversity for sustainable production in fruit growing
Within the framework of a four-year demonstration project, measures for ecological intensification with the aim of enhancing functional biodiversity are to be implemented on a number of cooperating demonstration farms in pome fruit cultivation and...
Term: 2023-01-01 bis 2026-12-31Evaluate and effectively utilize climate protection potentials of agroforestry (KlimAF) TP0 JKI-PB
Agroforestry systems and hedgerows can greatly contribute to mitigating GHG emissions in agriculture, as tree strips and hedgerows can store carbon in their biomass and increase soil organic. In addition, these systems improve microclimate, reduce...
Term: 2023-06-02 bis 2026-12-31Studies on the Use of Aircraft in Crop Protection
Conducting drift measurements according to an internationally coordinated measurement protocol to generate drift benchmark values for the use of plant protection products and, if applicable, biocides with aircraft (drone and helicopter). Developing...
Term: 2024-10-01 bis 2029-12-31FAIR Data Infrastructure for Agrosystems
Existing agricultural research data infrastructures (RDI) are heterogeneous, not yet networked with each other and there is a lack of uniform standards for common research data management (RDM). In addition, research data is often stored in...
Term: 2023-03-01 bis 2027-12-31Sorghum – boosting breeding by multilevel modeling
We tackle major grain sorghum production challenges in Germany through sophisticated modeling techniques based on data from 200 test hybrids cultivated per year in 7 strongly contrasting production environments with regard to climate and other...
Term: 2024-12-01 bis 2028-11-30Sustainable winter oilseed rape cultivation through breeding improvement of the NUE and optimization of the cultivation system
The objective of this project is to develop optimized cultivation techniques for winter oilseed rape hybrids that have been genomically selected to exhibit greater nitrogen-use efficiency, utilizing a multi-stage approach. The anticipated outcome is...
