Winklhofer P., Andert S., Hüttel S., Gerowitt B. (2021). Measuring On-Farm Phosphorus Fertiliser Use—Lessons Learned from Surveying Data of Five Regions in Northern Germany. Agronomy, 11(11), 2123. doi:10.3390/agronomy11112123

Phosphorus (P) is essential for agriculture; however, local P surpluses can have adverse environmental effects, such as eutrophication. Optimal P fertiliser use, therefore, means balancing these effects. Although P fluxes from soil to plants are key research areas, little is known about on-farm use …

Grunewaldt-Stöcker, G., Popp, C., Wamhoff, D., Maiss, E. and Winkelmann, T. (2021). Microscopic evidence of Nectriaceae and other microbes in infected fine root tissue of replant diseased apple plants. European Journal of Horticultural Science, (), . doi:doi.org/10.17660/eJHS.2021/86.1.4

Fine roots of apple rootstocks ‘M26’ and ‘Bittenfelder Sämling’ showing symptoms of apple replant disease (ARD) were histologically examined to clarify the relationships of microbial endophytes to tissue and cell damages. The plants were either grown on ARD-infested fields at three different locatio…

Molecular Barcoding Reveals the Genus Streptomyces as Associated Root Endophytes of Apple (Malus domestica) Plants Grown in Soils Affected by Apple Replant Disease. Phytobiomes Journal, 5(2), 177-189. doi:10.1094/pbiomes-07-20-0053-r

Apple replant disease (ARD) occurs when apple is repeatedly planted at the same site, leading to growth reductions and losses in fruit yield and quality. Up to now, the etiology has been poorly understood; however, soil (micro)biota are known to be involved. Because endophytes often colonize plants …

Schmidt M., Corre M., Kim B., Morley J., Göbel L., Sharma A., Setriuc S., Veldkamp E. (2021). Nutrient saturation of crop monocultures and agroforestry indicated by nutrient response efficiency. Nutrient Cycling in Agroecosystems, 119(1), 69-82. doi:10.1007/s10705-020-10113-6

Efficient use of nutrients is a key requisite for a sustainable intensification of agriculture in order to meet the increasing global crop demand while minimizing deleterious environmental impacts. Agroforestry systems exhibit tree–crop interactions, which potentially contribute to nutrient-efficien…

Ahrends H., Siebert S., Rezaei E., Seidel S., Hüging H., Ewert F., Döring T., Rueda-Ayala V., Eugster W., Gaiser T. (2021). Nutrient supply affects the yield stability of major European crops—a 50 year study. Environmental Research Letters, 16(1), 014003. doi:10.1088/1748-9326/abc849

Yield stability is important for food security and a sustainable crop production, especially under changing climatic conditions. It is well known that the variability of yields is linked to changes in meteorological conditions. However, little is known about the long-term effects of agronomic manage…

Agrarumweltzahlungen sind ein zentrales Instrument der Politik zur Verbesserung der Umweltqualität von Agrarlandschaften. Der interdisziplinäre Beitrag schlägt ein neuartiges Design für Agrarumweltzahlungs-Programme (genannt payments for modelled results, PAMR) vor, in dessen Rahmen die Zahlungen au…

Intensive field traffic and high axle loads can lead to soil compaction, with ecological and economic consequences. However, the relevance of this issue among practitioners is largely unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the relevance of this issue for farmers in Germany, wheth…
