Overcoming Replant Disease by an Integrated Approach (Phase III)
The ORDIAmur consortium investigates causes, indicators, and management options for the apple replant disease within the frame of the BonaRes initiative (Soil as a sustainable resource for the bioeconomy). The contribution of bacteria, fungi and...
Term: 2022-04-01 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 2026-12-31Identification and characterization of alternative means to control phytopathogenic microorganisms (POME-protect)
In the proposed POME-protect project, we aim to substantiate studies on alternative plant protection approaches. We aim to verify if spray-inoculation with the leaf extract from G. glabra (biocontrol agent P1) would prevent infection or lower the...
Term: 2025-02-01 bis 2026-08-31Improving detection of quarantine rust fungi
The main goal of this Euphresco project is to pave the way to a more streamlined diagnostic process for quarantine rust fungi and facilitate the development of robust diagnostic methods. There are three main objectives for this...
Term: 2024-04-01 bis 2027-02-28EUPHRESCO Community Network for practices in Plant Virology
The focus of this project is the networking of plant virologists in order to facilitate an exchange of knowledge and intensive cooperation. This is to take place both through online meetings and face-to-face meetings, for example based on...
Term: 2024-03-01 bis 2026-02-28Rodent management in sugar cane with barn owls
This project is designed to better understand the ecology of four coexisting rodent species in Florida sugarcane fields. Based on dynamics, demography and movement behavior, suitable management options will be tested at the management scale....
Term: 2024-11-01 bis 2027-10-31Improving the effectiveness of non-chemical alternatives for the management of Norway rats
These rodents are usually managed by applying rodenticides. These substances can expose non-target species and the environment to risks. The use of snap traps could be a promising and environmentally friendly alternative to rodenticides in certain...
Term: 2024-06-01 bis 2027-05-31Harnessing the soil microbiome for healthy soils and healthy plants
The goal of the project is to provide insights into the performance of inocula in different soils, crops and agricultural cultivation practices. Stepwise analysis and evaluation of potential bioinocula from in silico to in vitro to greenhouse and...
Term: 2023-11-15 bis 2026-11-30Nematode diversity in organic farm types with a focus on crop rotation and fertilization in a long-term study at the University of Kassel
Due to their ability to fix nitrogen, legumes are of central importance for soil fertility in organic crop rotations. However, legumes are susceptible to a number of pathogens, including plant-parasitic nematodes. In particular, endoparasitic...
Term: 2022-03-15 bis 2028-06-30Rhizosphere processes and yield decline in wheat crop rotations (RhizoWheat)
The project deals with the elucidation and quantification of rhizosphere processes leading to yield differences in wheat grown after different preceding crops and approaches to mitigate the yield decline in wheat grown after wheat. Additionally,...
