FOR 431 Protected cultivation - an approach to sustainable vegetable production in the humid tropics

Copy Link
Coordinating organisation: Faculty of Natural Sciences
Description: The principles of our basic research concept, described in detail in the proposal for phase I of the project, are still valid for phase II:
·
Sustainable production of tomatoes as a vegetable model crop under the climatic and socio-economic conditions of the humid tropics in a peri-urban production area.
·
Protected cultivation (net-houses) and biological plant protection.
·
Interdisciplinary, system orientated approach with ‘satellite experiments’ to produce basic data and single problem solutions and an continuously running ‘central experiment’ (CE), integrating and optimising the findings from the satellite experiments.
