FAIR Data Infrastructure for Agrosystems
Existing agricultural research data infrastructures (RDI) are heterogeneous, not yet networked with each other and there is a lack of uniform standards for common research data management (RDM). In addition, research data is often stored in...
Term: 2023-03-01 bis 2027-12-31Facilitating Insects in Agricultural Landscapes. Subproject Monitoring of yield, develpment of methods and statistics
FInAL aims to identify ways in which insect diversity, biomass and functionality can be increased in agricultural landscapes through changes in cultivation systems, especially by integrating renewable crops. Overall, a comprehensive approach is...
Term: 2022-10-01 bis 2025-09-30Sustainable winter oilseed rape cultivation through breeding improvement of the NUE and optimization of the cultivation system
The objective of this project is to develop optimized cultivation techniques for winter oilseed rape hybrids that have been genomically selected to exhibit greater nitrogen-use efficiency, utilizing a multi-stage approach. The anticipated outcome is...
Term: 2023-08-15 bis 2026-08-14Sustainable winter oilseed rape cultivation through breeding improvement of the NUE and optimization of the cultivation system
The project pursues the hypotheses that both the individual factors i) genotype, ii) fertilizer form and iii) sowing technique, but especially a coordinated combination of the factors mentioned, can influence the reduction of N-balance surpluses at...
Term: 2023-08-15 bis 2026-08-14Promotion 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...
Term: 2022-10-01 bis 2025-09-30Evaluate and effectively utilize climate protection potentials of agroforestry
Agroforestry systems and hedgerows can greatly contribute to mitigating GHG emissions in agriculture, as tree strips and hedgerows can store carbon in their biomass and increase soil organic. In addition, these systems improve microclimate, reduce...
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 2025-11-30Nematode as bioindicators for monitoring of agroecology-based approaches
Nematodes are ideal bioindicators for characterizing anthropogenic impacts on soil due to their diverse diets (bacterivores, fungivores, plant parasites, omnivores, predators). In the following project, the effects of agroecological principles,...
Term: 2022-09-01 bis 2024-08-31Model and demonstration project to strengthen functional biodiversity for sustainable production in fruit growing
Within the framework of a four-year demonstration project, measures for ecological intensification with the aim of enhancing functional biodiversity are to be implemented on a number of cooperating demonstration farms in pome fruit cultivation and...
Term: 2023-01-01 bis 2026-12-31N optimized canola to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Using cost-effective drones and multispectral sensor technology, the reflectance of plants in the visible and near-infrared wavelength range can be detected and used in a high-throughput process. This makes it possible to study entire populations...
