Neonikotinoida insekticiders användning i jordbruket diskuteras på europeisk nivå på grund av deras toxiska bieffekt på nyttodjur. Alternativ behöver utvecklas för att ge effektiv och hållbar kontroll av ekonomiska viktiga skadedjur som bladlöss. I detta projekt kommer ett IPM-verktyg utvecklas för att förbättra biologisk bekämpning av bladlöss i svenska fruktodlingar. Vi kommer identifiera ämnen som utsöndras av äpple- och körsbärsträd vid en bladlus attack och inkorporerar dessa i en biologiskt nedbrytbar pasta i syfte att locka nyttodjur (predator-Locka). Vi kommer också att formulera en annan nedbrytbar pasta som innehåller socker och proteiner för att distrahera myror från bladlössen i träden (myr-Stop). De två optimerade nedbrytbara formuleringarna appliceras samtidigt (Stop & Locka) på träd med målet att maximera biologisk bekämpning av bladlöss. Kunskapen som erhållits genom denna studie kommer att bilda en bas för att öka effekten av biologisk bekämpning i ytterligare grödor.
The use in horticulture of neonicotinoid insecticides is under debate at the European level due to their toxic side effects on natural enemies and pollinators. Alternatives need to be developed to provide efficient and sustainable control of economic important pest such as aphids. In this project we will set-up an IPM tool to enhance the biological control of aphids in fruit crops in Sweden. We will identify herbivory induced plant volatiles released upon aphid attack by apple and cherry and incorporate them in a biodegradable paste to pull beneficials to fruit trees (Predator-Pull). We will also formulate sugars and proteins within another biodegradable paste to divert ants from attending aphids on trees (Ant-Stop). The two optimized biodegradable pastes will be applied simultaneously (Stop&Pull) on trees with the aim to maximize aphid biocontrol. The knowledge acquired through this study will form a base to increase the efficacy of biological control in a number of additional crops.

The purpose of this project is to define the amount of slaked lime needed for a given clay soil. We hypothesise that the amount of slaked lime needed for minimal phophorus loss is dependent on the clay content of the soil. The study will be conducted in a field with a drainage system and measuring …

Increased production and export of products with high added values, e.g. long-ripened hard cheeses, are considered important steps for a positive development of the Swedish dairy sector. Increased investment in Swedish premium cheese will, however, require increased volumes of high quality raw milk …

Insect bite hypersensitivity (IBH) associated with Culicoides biting midges is the most common allergic skin disease in
horses, seriously reducing welfare of affected horses. The main symptom is severe pruritus, with risk of self-infected
open wounds. The choice for treatment and prevention of this …

Wheat bran is the largest by-product of wheat flour production with approximately 300,000 tonnes in Sweden. Bran is mainly used in animal feed, as human digestion is not fully able to absorb it. Wheat bran contains valuable biomolecules, such as dietary fiber (arabinoxylans, AX) and phenolic …

We are facing a protein shift in which a portion of the animal based protein in our diet needs to be replaced by plant proteins to reduce the climate impact from the food sector. Many agricultural by-streams contain high value proteins not used to their full potential. We aim to recover proteins …

Using split fertilization of nitrogen (N) in wheat production is today well-established to increase protein content and adjust fertilization. However, deep knowledge and understanding of N uptake and remobilization during late stages of crop development are missing. Moreover, while split …
