As one of the main innovations, the project aims to test the tolerance of varieties already available and relevant for Hessian cultivation. As one of the main innovations, the project aims to test the tolerance of varieties that are already...
Term: 2023-12-22 bis 2026-12-31SWD-attract-and-kill
The invasive spotted winged drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) is currently the most important pest insect in sweet cherries. The yeast, Hanseniasporum uvarum, is associated with D. suzukii and has a phagostimulant effect on the flies. The use of this...
Term: 2022-05-16 bis 2026-04-30Side effects of plant protection products on the natural regulation of vectors of leafroll disease in viticulture
he aim of the project is to investigate the role of plant protection products on the natural regulation of scale insect vectors in German viticulture and, on this basis, to evaluate the side effects of the usual PPPs in viticulture. Analogous to the...
Term: 2024-05-15 bis 2027-05-14Selection and resistance screening of apple proliferation and pear decline resistent rootstocks (offspring from apple rootstock breeding program and pyrus taxa selections)
The aim of this project is to control phytoplasmas found in pome fruits by selecting phytoplasma resistant rootstocks. The offspring of crossings (genotypes, apple rootstocks) or selections of different Pyrus Taxa (pear rootstocks) are evaluated by...
