Studies on transmissibility, cytopathology and control of Tomato chlorotic dwarf viroid and Potato spindle tuber viroid
(2018-05-17)
PSTVd and TCDVd have wide host ranges and are able to cause huge economic losses in many high-valued crops in the Solanaceous family. TCDVd has recently been detected to infect many species worldwide, posing the potential ...
Investigation of the feeding process at concentrate feeding stations for horses in group housing
(2018-04-26)
Computer-controlled concentrate feeding stations are increasingly used to guarantee an individual feed supply of group-housed horses. Blocking times caused by horses remaining in the feeding station without concentrate ...
Water Quality in Multipurpose Water Systems, Sanitation, Hygiene and Health Outcomes in Ghana
(2018-03-29)
This thesis examines the interlinkages between water quality, water use, sanitation and hygiene practices, other household characteristics and health outcomes in the context of multipurpose water systems in Ghana. ...
Reactions between nitrite and soil organic matter and their role in nitrogen trace gas emissions and nitrogen retention in soil
(2018-01-22)
As a key intermediate of both nitrification and denitrification, nitrite (NO2-) is highly chemically reactive to soil organic matter (SOM), and it was proved previously that considerable amounts of ...
Investment in health within the agriculture, water, sanitation and hygiene nexus for rural households in Bangladesh
(2018-02-16)
Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) related burden of disease is one of the most important aspects of human capital formation. As WASH is a system issue, it needs to be investigated with many other complementary factors ...
The impact of soil water distribution on root development and root water uptake of winter wheat
(2018-04-10)
Root water uptake (RWU) is a key process in the root zone that determines water movement from the soil into roots and transport to the atmosphere via plant leaves. Different RWU models were developed with different assumptions ...
Application of proximal sensing techniques for epidemiological investigations of Fusarium head blight in wheat under field and controlled conditions
(2018-02-13)
Sensors can provide valuable insight into studying the physiological disorder due to plant pathogens. Fusarium head blight (FHB) influences the optical properties of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) at canopy and ear levels. ......
Geeignete Sensoren können einen wertvollen Einblick in die physiologischen Verhältnisse in Pflanzen bieten, wenn diese von pathogenen Organismen heimgesucht werden. Die Infektionen von Getreide durch Fusarium Arten (Fusarium ......

Dynamics of nitrogen and phosphorus under the impact of climate change and agricultural land use in the West African Sudan Savannah
(2018-01-16)
Changing climate and agricultural land-use dynamics seriously challenge the future of cropping in the West African Dry Savannah, and, in turn, the livelihoods and food security of rural populations. Current production ...
Analysis of the role of polygalacturonase inhibiting proteins in the interaction between plants and nematodes
(2018-01-04)
Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are a great threat to crops, causing billions of dollars of losses worldwide. Cyst nematodes and root-knot nematodes belong to a small group of sedentary endoparasitic PPNs that parasitize ......
Effects on Aerobic Processes at Silage Faces
(2018-01-31)
In animal nutrition, one of the most important and indispensable requirements is high quality of feed. Especially the staple feed, which builds the basic feed for animals’ rations, has to fulfill high quality criteria. In ...
