Phenotypic and genetic determinants of adaptation of winter wheat to increasing CO2 concentrations using brown rust and ear fusarium as examples.
The following experimental questions will be answered in this project: (a) What is the effect of e[CO2] on the pathogens brown rust and ear fusarium (survival, infection rate, growth, spore germination rate, infection success on susceptible...
Term: 2022-03-01 bis 2025-02-28Optimizing the potential of half-dwarfs in rye for increasing the climate protection performance of cereal crop rotations.
PRoKlima closes a knowledge gap with regard to the reaction of half-dwarfs to different seed sizes in order to optimize rye production and reduce GHG emissions. In addition, PRoKlima leads to an acceleration of the development and provision of this...
Term: 2022-09-01 bis 2024-12-31Development and evaluation of peat-reduced production systems in horticulture
The aim of TP2 is to identify and study the effects of peat substitutes on the plant microbiome. The stability (resilience) of the microbiome during plant growth will be investigated. Furthermore, the changes and transferability of antibiotic...
Term: 2021-11-01 bis 2024-10-31Evaluating current winter wheat cultivars and genetic resources in a uniform sowing system
In Germany, cereals are sown by drill sowing. In this process, the seeds are placed more or less randomly in rows. As a result, the plants that develop from them have little space within a row, while there is plenty of space between the rows, for...
Term: 2018-06-01 bis 2026-12-31MonViA - National monitoring of biodiversity in agricultural landscapes - Subproject "Wild bees and honeybees"
The sub-project ‚Monitoring of honey- and wild bees’ focuses on collecting data on honeybee vitality and species richness of wild bees in Germany’s agricultural landscapes. The effect of different agricultural practices on honeybee vitality...
Term: 2019-01-01 bis 2025-12-31Develoment and evaluation of peat-reduced horticultural production systems
The joint research project ToPGa aims for the investigation and evaluation of the effects of peat-reduced substrates as holistically as possible. Here, the scientific approach is to study peat substitutes and to assess their potential as an...
Term: 2021-11-01 bis 2024-10-31FAIRagro - 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 2028-02-29Genome-based strategies to use the tertiary gene-pool for breeding of climate-smart wheat
The pre-competitive research and prototype demonstration in TERTIUS utilizes the wheat genome sequence as well as knowledge gained from fundamental research on cellular mechanisms of stress response to systematically screen the gene pool of wheat...
Term: 2020-04-01 bis 2025-03-31MonViA - National monitoring of biodiversity in agricultural landscapes - Subproject "Biodiversity of small freshwaters"
Small freshwater systems in agricultural landscapes are vulnerable to inputs of plant protection products and fertilizers. Therefore, the fauna in these water bodies can be severely impaired. This is crucial, since small freshwaters host the largest...
Term: 2019-01-01 bis 2024-12-31New cropping systems
Scope of the project is the development of processes and the identification of research gaps to achieve the goal of sustainable intensification in agricultural systems. For this purpose agronomic approaches, digitalization as well as automation of...
