Investigation of vectors, genetic diversity and transmissibility of stolbur and associated diseases in European seed potato production
In the proposed project, vector candidates are to be tested for infection with PHYPSO and ARSEPH. In addition, symptomatic potato tubers are to be collected and analysed for the presence of genetically different subtypes. In parallel, trials on the...

Term: 2026-06-01 bis 2028-05-31Joint collaboration of INRAe and JKI on future challenges posed by cereal black rust
Joint study on the spread and characteristics with regard to the biology and virulence of black rust in Germany and France with special consideration of intermediate hosts and meterological factors. In addition, the practical resistance potential of...
Term: 2025-08-01 bis 2028-07-31Digitization of the herbarium of Herbology at the JKI
A herbarium focused on weeds was set up in the former Institute for Weed Research, which was continually expanded until the 1990s. This herbarium is accessible and can be viewed. However, it is hardly known and most potential interested parties are...
Term: 2025-04-01 bis 2026-12-31Comparison of methods to control insect pests and weeds in organic oilseed rape cultivation
OIlseed rape is an important leaf crop in conventional arable crop rotatioons with around 1 million hectares under cultivation in Germany. In contrast, the acreage of organic oilseed rape is less than 5,000 ha. The control of weeds and insect pests ...
Term: 2024-08-01 bis 2027-08-31Studies on the production of NX toxins by Fusarium culmorum on different cereal species
Fusarium culmorum is an important pathogen of cereal plants. Infected plants accumulate mycotoxins of the trichothecene B group, such as deoxynivalenol or nivalenol. These toxins pose a risk to the safety of food and animal feed. New trichothecenes,...
Term: 2024-03-01 bis 2026-12-31Data-driven and genome-edited breeding of locally adapted wheat varieties to enhance agricultural biodiversity, sustainable climate resilience, and resource efficiency
The DRIVE project is developing a globally unique data trust platform for breeding. Wheat serves as a model. Curated big data will be analysed to select contrasting genotypes and environments for their genotype-environment interactions. The data...
Term: 2024-11-01 bis 2028-10-31Resilience in organic vegetable production - development and testing of strategies and innovations through practical research
Organic vegetable growing in Germany is facing major challenges: Adaptation to climate change, changing consumer habits, demographic change, new (bio)technological processes, evolving guidelines, uncertain availability of inputs and unpredictable...
