Overall objective of the project:
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 biodiversity compared to other freshwater systems such as lakes and rivers. Due to the reasons above, small freshwaters at the same time host the largest fraction of endangered species on the landscape scale. So far, there is no biological monitoring of small freshwaters. Its conceptual development is complex due to the high number and the large diversity of these ecosystems (e.g. in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania there are about 60.000 small freshwaters in or adjacent to agricultural fields). The JKI currently investigates the effects of agricultural management strategies on the biodiversity of these freshwaters. In MonViA, the JKI will, in close collaboration with the plant protection services of the federal states of Germany, develop a monitoring concept for biodiversity in small freshwaters. Test-projects based on this concept will provide a first overview on the current situation, followed by continuous status descriptions of the biodiversity in small freshwaters in agricultural landscapes.

Overall objective of the project:
In MonViA, the Julius Kühn-Institute develops in close co-operation with the Thünen-Institute and the Federal Office for Agriculture and Food a broad-based farmland biodiversity monitoring for Germany. The joint project consists of three main parts: a) a general, national wide trend monitoring based on a systematic sampling grid, b) an in-depth, question-based monitoring on specific issues focusing on insects and c) a Citizen-Science monitoring, based on the participation of farmers, associations and interested citizens. The as long-term designed project involves 6 specialist institutes from the TI, 8 from the JKI and the BLE with a total of more than 35 persons. In the sub-project "Monitoring the diversity of habitats - small landscape structures and landscape elements" methods are developed and made available to derive indicators of habitat quality (e.g. age, volume; connectivity) derived from remote sensing data (e.g. LiDAR, VHR).

Overall objective of the project:
The experimental field DigiVine will examplary show digital technologie with in the value network of viticulture from planting until grape delivery and test these technologies with users. The interdisciplinary team includes grape and wine producers, producers of viticulture device technology, IT service providers, research institutes and scientists with expertise in the field of digitalization and sensor- based data acquisition and analysis. DigiVine will support the interaction of research and development, consulting and viticulture practice to master various sequences of grape production using digitalization. Moreover, it will generate tailor-made services, concrete recommendations for grape growers and increase the work and resource efficiency, as well as legal certainty. DigiVine links extensive, heterogeneous data sources from and on the vineyard, as well as administrative framework conditions. Algorithms make plot and subplot specific information on crop management and mechanized, quality orientated production accessible and gives concrete recommendations. DigiVine increases the access of winegrowers to digitalization, introduces new technologies and markets to supplier and generates knowledge to broader circle of users. Interfaces for the transparency increase towards consumers will be provided. Within nine applications, research and development will create new approaches. Among other things, lead farms will be implemented and tested on the base of different viticulture producing structures (winery, cooperative, grape producers). The applications of the experimental field DigiVine provide an example of new applications that go beyond state of the art. They will be linked to existing services over open interfaces, to display the process chain.

"Monitoring the diversity of habitats - small landscape structures and
landscape elements" methods are developed and made available to derive
indicators of habitat quality (e.g. age, volume; connectivity) derived from
remote sensing data (e.g. LiDAR, VHR).The aim of
the subproject "Pests and pathogens" is therefore to develop a
proposal for a pest and pathogen monitoring on cultivated plants and to test it
on small scale. Gradually, agricultural
crops, wine and apple production will be examined and, if necessary, extended
by further cultivations later on. On the basis of already existing data
and monitoring of pests in the federal states as well as suitable test results
from different institutions, criteria for the selection of pests, pathogens,
crops, regions and corresponding monitoring methods will be developed, which
will also incorporate the latest methods of data processing and analysis as
well as molecular biology and bioinformatics. These results form the basis for
the development of an enhanced concept for systematic pest monitoring that
integrates existing structures, expands them in a targeted manner and thus allows
sound statements to be made about trends and the relevance of pests and
pathogens for biodiversity in agricultural landscapes.

Research in the sub-project ‘Honey bees and wild bees’ focuses on collecting and analysing past, present and future data, and developing an indicator for honey bee vitality. Another monitoring goal is to assess the species richness of wild bees in Germany’s agricultural landscape. Both, honey bee vitality and species richness of wild bees, will be gathered and presented on a newly-conceived digital platform. An interface with landscape parameters will be enabled.

Overall objective of the project:
In recent years, biotic and biotic stress have caused yield increases in winter wheat to be smaller than expected. Therefore, besides breeding new resistant or tolerant cultivars, the cultivation system gets into the focus of optimization.Traditionally, winter wheat is sown in drill seed, so that individual plants have high comptetion within a row but little competition between rows. Alternativ cropping system such as the uniform sowing system were proposed in the past, but were not implemented due to technical limitations.In this project, a prototype of a uniform sowing machine for winter wheat will be optimized and tested for a diverse winter wheat collection. The aim is to find out which advantages the uniform sowing system offers and to find winter wheat cultivars that react particularly positively to the new cultivation system.
