Overall objective of the project:
Investigations on plant extracts and natural substances for control of oomycetes; in depth trials with effectice compounds/extracts (optimization of extraction procedure, effective concentration, time of application etc.); testing under practical conditions.
Overall objective of the project:
Stimulation natürlicher Regelmechanismen gegenüber Falschem Mehltau an Gurke und Braunfäule an Tomate am Beispiel Süßholzextrakt; Prüfung der Sortenabhängigen Wirkung des Exktrakts bzw. resistenzinduzierender Fraktionen an Gurke; Messungen der Photosyntheseleistung bei Gurke; molekulare Untersuchung der beteiligten Stoffwechselwege (Gurke und Tomate).
Overall objective of the project:
Identification and description of entomopathogenic microorganisms including viruses, which cause diseases in harmful- and beneficial insects.
Overall objective of the project:
The development and validation of suitable methods for the molecular identifcation and biological characterization are a prerequisite fore testing the efficacy of biological control measures.
Overall objective of the project:
In Zusammenarbeit mit Pflanzenschutzdiensten werden Untersuchungen zur CpGV-Resistenz sowie Aktivitätstestungen von CpGV-Produkten durchgeführt. Die Arbeiten dienen der Entwicklung geeigneter Resistenzmanagement-Strategien beim Apfelwickler gegenüber dem Apfelwicklergranuloviren im ökologischen und integrierten Anbau.
Overall objective of the project:
Within this project the genomes of different codling moth isolates will be characterized and the genetic factors involved in overcoming CpGV resistance will be identified.
Overall objective of the project:
Populations of important insect pests in agriculture are investigated on specific insect pathogens. These are especially the invasive Spotted Wing Drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, wireworms, Agriotes spp., Box Tree Moth, Diaphania perspectalis, Codling Moth, Cydia pomonella, European Corn Borer, Ostrinia nubilalis, European Cock Chafer, Melolontha melolontha as well as the invasive lady beetle, Harmonia axyridis.
