Evaluate and effectively utilize climate protection potentials of agroforestry (KlimAF) - TP2 JKI-ÖPV
In the subproject, climate-regulating soil microorganisms (nitrifiers, denitrifiers, methanotrophic and methanogenic microorganisms) and carbon stocks in topsoil (0-15, 15-30 cm) and subsoil (30-45, 45-60 cm) of poplar-based alley cropping systems...
Term: 2023-06-02 bis 2026-06-30Preventing stored product pests in Germany
Due to higher average annual temperatures as a result of climate change, the development conditions of stored product pest (SPP) insects are shifting towards optimum. Infestation are also occurring more frequently in the field. In addition to...
Term: 2022-10-01 bis 2025-11-30Identification of UV filter enrichment areas in the Baltic Sea - Investigation of the transport processes and long-term sinks in water and sediment
The project aims to identify input pathways, distribution patterns and long-term sinks of UV filters in the Baltic Sea in water and sediment. The investigation of the dynamics of these substances also serves as an example for transport mechanisms of...
Term: 2023-01-01 bis 2025-12-31Rewetting of agricultural waters as an immediate climate protection measure - Scientific assessment and impact assessment for the agricultural landscape
The German agricultural landscape is home to countless small standing bodies of water. Due to longer and warmer dry periods, climate change will lead to more and more small bodies of water drying out more frequently and for longer periods of time....
Term: 2022-10-01 bis 2025-09-30Identification of plant defence substances for breeding resistant sugar beet against the beet moth
Sugar from sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L., Chenopodiaceae) is a product of the food industry in Central Europe, which places the highest technological demands on the plant`s raw material. The beet moth, Scrobipalpa ocellatella (Boyd) (Lepidoptera,...
Term: 2023-03-01 bis 2026-02-28Hurdles for the establishment and performance of different agroforestry systems in Lower Saxony
The collaborative project aims to identify and overcome barriers to the establishment and performance of different agroforestry systems in Lower Saxony. The collaborative project has three main objectives: 1) Identify economic, social and agronomic...
Term: 2022-10-25 bis 2025-12-08Data and value-based decision-making for a sustainable land use
The projects aims to collect digital data of an organically farmed agricultural holding as well as environmental data in a way that the data can serve as a basis for the decision and evaluation of the holding to achieve optimal ecological, social,...
Term: 2023-02-10 bis 2025-12-31Sentinel Pond Network
The Sentinel Pond Network is the establishment of permanent monitoring sites in small bodies of water in the agricultural landscape in various regions of Germany. The aim of the project is the long-term and continuous recording of the chemical and...
Term: 2022-01-01 bis 2032-12-31Improve biological control of stored-product pest beetles by the combined use of semiochemicals and parasitoids
In the present project, we will study the scientific basis for the development of a new beneficial insect product against pest infestation of stored plant products and (further) develop and evaluate the idea of "attract-and-guide" in the biological...
Term: 2024-04-01 bis 2027-03-31Biological and insecticidal activity of different medicinal and aromatic plants against stored-product pest insects
In times of climate change and increasing demands for resilient and sustainable agriculture, the genetic resources of our arable crops are, among other things, an important basis for the development of new active principles and application methods...
Term: 2021-10-01 bis 2024-12-31
