Fluxes 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. We assume that the analysis...
Term: 2024-01-01 bis 2026-12-31Monitoring 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 2025-12-31Metabolites of potato, wild potato and breeding lines and their relevance in resistance against pest insects
Potatoes are an important source of food and raw materials. However, the infestation pressure from insect pests is very high and can lead to harvest and yield losses of up to 80%. In view of climate change, this infestation pressure will become even...
Term: 2022-09-01 bis 2024-06-30Quantification 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
Term: 2023-07-01 bis 2024-10-31Genetic and metabolic regulation of seed ageing in barley (Hordeum Vulgare L.)
Plants in the form of seeds have the longest lifespan of any non-clonally reproducing terrestrial beings. The aim of this study is to elucidate the metabolic processes that prevent, accompany or trigger seed death during long-term storage under...
Term: 2023-04-01 bis 2026-03-31Promotion of insects in agricultural landscapes through integrated cultivation systems with renewable raw materials - Subproject Aquatic Insects
The aim of the subproject "aquatic insects" is to record and describe the biodiversity (measured are: species diversity and abundance) of aquatic insects in small streams and standing waters in order to estimate the effects of the measures on the...
