Term: 2019-08-21 bis 2037-08-07Non-chemical management of rodent pests in carrot crops- subproject cost-benefit-analysis
In the "Mice Carrot" project, work is being done on the development and testing of non-chemical methods for the management of harmful rodents in organic carrot cultivation. New and existing methods, such as mice ditches and mounding compared to...
Term: 2022-11-01 bis 2026-03-31Strengthening resilience of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) in organic production to climate change-induced biotic and abiotic stressors through microbial action.
The planned research activities will investigate the interaction triangle between Lactuca lettuce with different resistance and tolerance characteristics to biotic stressors such as phytopathogenic MO and pests, abiotic stressors and the lettuce...
Term: 2024-01-01 bis 2026-12-31Strengthening resilience of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) in organic production to climate change-induced biotic and abiotic stressors through microbial action.
Depending on the weather, diseases such as, B. lactucae and G. cichoracearum, as well as the aphid N. ribisnigri, which specializes in lettuce, occur. These cannot be controlled in organic farming by means of synthetic chemical pesticides and...

Term: 2022-09-01 bis 2025-08-31Priming for enhanced defense as a strategy to optimize crop resistance and as a possible breeding target - PrimedPlant3
The information on the genetic determinants of priming with different inducers is highly important. It will allow to better understand the nature of this phenomenon and to use it more efficiently, e.g. in combination with appropriate barley...
Term: 2023-04-01 bis 2026-03-31Improving the performance of forage legumes through the use of optimal symbiotic partners using the example of sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia)
The performance of legumes strongly depends on the effectiveness of the associated symbiotic partners. For sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia), contradictory data on nitrogen fixation performance can be found in the literature. In general, however, it...
Term: 2021-01-01 bis 2026-12-31Pyramidisation of resistances against the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne hapla from different carrot wild forms in Daucus carota ssp. sativus
The northern root-knot nematode Meloidogyne hapla leads to relevant economic losses in carrot production in temperate zone by yield reduction and considerable quality losses of infested batches. Application of chemical nematicides is forbidden in...
