Clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is a major crop rotation disease in agriculture. The cultivation of genetically resistant varieties is widely recognized as the most cost-effective management strategy. Previous studies have highlighted...
Term: 2025-03-15 bis 2026-03-14Comparison of methods to control insect pests and weeds in organic oilseed rape cultivation
OIlseed rape is an important leaf crop in conventional arable crop rotatioons with around 1 million hectares under cultivation in Germany. In contrast, the acreage of organic oilseed rape is less than 5,000 ha. The control of weeds and insect pests ...
Term: 2024-08-01 bis 2027-08-31Studies on the production of NX toxins by Fusarium culmorum on different cereal species
Fusarium culmorum is an important pathogen of cereal plants. Infected plants accumulate mycotoxins of the trichothecene B group, such as deoxynivalenol or nivalenol. These toxins pose a risk to the safety of food and animal feed. New trichothecenes,...
Term: 2024-03-01 bis 2026-12-31Data-driven and genome-edited breeding of locally adapted wheat varieties to enhance agricultural biodiversity, sustainable climate resilience, and resource efficiency
The DRIVE project is developing a globally unique data trust platform for breeding. Wheat serves as a model. Curated big data will be analysed to select contrasting genotypes and environments for their genotype-environment interactions. The data...
