Identification of future breeding potential for more climate protection in plant production - assessment of the contribution of breeding progress to reducing the CO2 footprint
Based on extensive variety trial data, the contribution of breeding progress to climate protection for the most relevant crops in Germany is evaluated using life cycle analysis (LCA) and statistical methods. Relevant plant characteristics for...
Term: 2022-09-01 bis 2025-08-31FAIR-Fields -A Digital Research Environment
The aim of the project is to investigate the genotype, environment and management interactions (GxExM) with regard to the factors of varietal resistance, weed suppression, drought tolerance and yield of winter wheat (WW) and to evaluate preceding...
Term: 2022-08-01 bis 2025-06-30Strengthening 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: 2024-01-01 bis 2026-12-31Studies on the Use of Aircraft in Crop Protection
Conducting drift measurements according to an internationally coordinated measurement protocol to generate drift benchmark values for the use of plant protection products and, if applicable, biocides with aircraft (drone and helicopter). Developing...
Term: 2024-10-01 bis 2029-12-31Sorghum – boosting breeding by multilevel modeling - Project part: Sorghum growth modeling
Sorghum is a promising crop that can contribute to both diversifying the range of crop species and increasing the climate resilience of crop production. As a C4 plant, sorghum has a high heat and drought stress tolerance. Due to its very extensive...
