Investigation of the exposure of birds of prey (owls, kestrels, falcons) to anticoagulant rodenticides in Slovenia
Anticoagulant rodenticides (AK) are rodenticides that are subject to authorisation in the European Union in accordance with Biocidal Products Regulation (EU) No. 528/2012. The 2nd generation AK are so-called PBT substances. They are persistent,...

Term: 2025-01-01 bis 2026-12-31Resistance analyses of wild potatoes and backcrossing populations with natural Colorado potato beetle infestation in field trials
Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) are an important source of food and raw materials for humans. However, insect pests such as the Colorado potato beetle cause enormous losses in crop yield and quality. The control of the Colorado potato beetle is...
Term: 2024-04-15 bis 2026-12-31Validation of the usability of zooplankton as a temporal integrator of pesticide contamination in small water bodies
In the project, 30 small standing waters in Germany (Brandenburg) and 30 small standing waters in Spain (Catalonia) are being investigated with regard to the concentrations of pesticides in surface water and zooplankton. The aim is to compare the...
Term: 2024-01-01 bis 2026-12-31German-Colombian Training and Demonstration Project for Agroecology
Project objective: Agroecological approaches with a high impact on food security and the socio-economic situation of marginalized and vulnerable groups as well as on the protection of climate and biodiversity are increasingly available. Expected...
Term: 2024-02-01 bis 2026-12-30Novel resources for resistance breeding against insect pests and heat stress under low cropping intensities in oilseed rape - Subprojetc B
In this project, we aim to identify and characterise biotic and abiotic resistances by applying and developing innovative phenotyping, genomic, metabolomic pathway analysis and bioinformatic approaches to systematically exploit existing and novel...
Term: 2025-05-15 bis 2029-05-14Optimization of chemical-ecologically mediated resistance against the pollen beetle and its introgression into oilseed rape - Subproject 2: Bioassays and chemical characterization
Insect resistance is essential for future cultivation of oilseed rape, as not only are few insecticide compounds available, but current insecticides are also rapidly losing efficacy. To support novel crop protection strategies such as resistant...
Term: 2024-04-01 bis 2027-03-31Metabolites of potato, wild potato and breeding lines and their relevance in resistance against pest insects
Potatoes are an important source of food and raw materials. However, the infestation pressure from insect pests is very high and can lead to harvest and yield losses of up to 80%. In view of climate change, this infestation pressure will become even...
Term: 2022-09-01 bis 2026-12-31Quantification of value-added metabolites from wild and cultivated plants using liquid chromatography-based techniques
Analytical protocols for targeted quantification of selected value-added metabolites on basis of liquid chromatography will be developed within this project. These protocols will be applied to support breeding projects. Work of this project...
Term: 2023-12-01 bis 2028-12-31Development of analytical methods on basis of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry for comprehensive metabolite profiling of crop and wild plants
In the frame of this project analytical methods on basis of ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC/ESI-QTOFMS) will be developed, which allow comprehensive metabolite...
