Project Overview

Here you will find our current projects, research questions and information on breeding the individual crops. In each culture, different priorities are set, depending on the capabilities of the plants. What all projects have in common is that they are carried out under the conditions of organic farming.

Goals:

  • Development of baking wheat for lean drought stress locations under organic farming with pronounced winter hardiness, improved weed shade, flight and stink fire resistance
  • Identification of wheat with high baking capacity and low protein content by means of a specially optimised microbaking process
  • Testing and development of test procedures for the selection of winter wheat for organic pasta production and implementation of the results in variety development.

Goals:

  • Continuous further development of a light-grained winter rye population, taking into account stability, starch viscosity, Falling Number and a pronounced reference to light-etheric qualities.



Goals:

  • Breeding development of a completely husk-free, head-blight resistant edible oats with reduced hairiness of the grain for organic farming
  • Studies on the relationship between morphological peculiarities, in particular the panicle characteristics, and the pictorial forces on the grain
  • Application of eurythmically treated water to oat plants to modify the forming powers of oatmeal

    Projects:

    Einkorn Breeding

    Goals:

    • Selection for winter hardiness, resistance to Tilletia caries, husk-free threshing, and improved baking properties

    Goals:

    • Development of a plant ideotype for mixed cultivation with winter cereals
    • Selection of hardy, light grained, full and half leaf types
    • Suitability for combining different types of peas with different types of trititcale
