Relevance and management of root-knot nematodes in tomato production in Nepal
(2026-02-06)Tomato (<em>Solanum lycopersicum</em> L.) is one of the most economically significant crops worldwide. In Nepal, tomato production is greatly affected by root-knot nematodes (RKN; <em>Meloidogyne</em> spp.). Despite their ... -
Climate Resilience Actions and Coffee Households' Food (in)security in Western Honduras
(2026-01-29)In Central America, particularly in Honduras, coffee production is vital to rural economies. However, extreme weather events such as droughts negatively impact coffee and food production, affecting food security of rural ... -
Effects of biological and technical subsoil amelioration on root growth and crop performance in cereal crops
(2026-01-27)In the face of climate change, optimizing root systems to enhance subsoil water and nutrient extraction is increasingly vital for resilient and efficient crop production. Subsoil amelioration approaches such as deep tillage, ... -
Biomarker-based nutritional phosphorus status in children and adolescents and its long-term association with the endocrine phosphate regulatory and adrenal medullary system
(2026-01-27)This thesis investigates biomarker-based the long-term physiological implications of higher phosphorus intake during childhood and adolescence, with a focus on how a habitually phosphorus-rich nutrition during growth shapes ... -
Human Dietary Interventions: Investigating the Interactions between Metabolism, Gut Microbiome, and Microbiome-Derived Metabolites for Optimized Health
(2026-01-26)Diet is a key factor in modulating the gut microbiome, which plays a pivotal role in human health. Tailored microbiome-targeted dietary strategies are thus a promising approach for the primary and secondary prevention of ... -
Responses of the root-associated microbiota to pathogen infection and pest management strategies
(2026-01-23)The microbes living in and in close proximity to plant roots are subject to host-driven selection and can confer substantial benefits to the plant such as growth promotion and stress tolerance. Studying this root-associated ... -
Farmers' Behavior and Policy Design in the Era of Smart Farming Technology
(2026-01-23)The agricultural sector faces a dual challenge: ensuring food security while simultaneously protecting the environment. Population growth, climate change, and environmental degradation exacerbate this challenge. A promising ... -
Active Perception for Learning-Based Robot Mapping
(2026-01-21)Autonomous robots need to perceive and understand their environment in order to plan and carry out tasks. A fundamental aspect of this perception capability is the active control of onboard sensor viewpoints to explore the ... -
