Consumers appreciate onions in all kinds of cooking. Onions can be grown in Sweden with good results. Onions can be stored for a long period. There is a potential to increase the self-sufficiency in onions. To achieve this, a better knowledge of long-term-storage potential indicator factors that are easy for the grower to analyse at the time of harvest is needed. Through this project, the growers will get access to easy-to-use analysis tools based on scientific results. Soil analyses, plant analyses and content of sugars and bioactive compounds will be analysed in laboratories. Easy-to-use methods for analysis of total sugars, glucose, calcium, nitrate, pH and hardness will be used in parallel and will be correlated with the laboratory results and weather data. When the growers already at the point of harvest can decide which onions to sell immediately and which to store for longer time, the quality out of the storage will be improved. The result is reduced waste and better economy.
Konsumenterna uppskattar lök som en basvara i matlagningen. Lök går bra att odla i Svenskt klimat. Lök kan lagras länge. Det finns en potential att öka självförsörjningsgraden. För detta krävs bättre kännedom om analyserbara indikatorer på lång lagringsduglighet för löken redan vid skörd. Genom detta projekt får odlarna tillgång till lättanvända analysverktyg baserade på vetenskapliga resultat. Markanalyser, växtprovsanalyser samt socker och bioaktiva ämnen analyseras på laboratorium. Lättanvända metoder för analys av totalsocker, glukos, kalciumhalt, nitrathalt, pH samt hårdhet används parallellt och korreleras till laboratorieanalyserna och väderdata. Genom att redan vid skörd få möjlighet att välja ut vilka lökpartier som ska långlagras och vilka som bör säljas omgående kan kvaliteten ut ur lagret efter långlagring förbättras. Resultatet blir minskat svinn och bättre ekonomi.

Zinkoxid (ZnO) in feed prevents post weaning diarrhoea (PWD) and mortality in weaned piglets but, for environmental reasons, ZnO will be banned in the EU in 2022 despite that there remain herds that are dependent on the use of ZnO (or antibiotics) at weaning.
By metagenomic analysis (sequencing …

To grow with reduced use of glyphosate is of great concern driven by the requirements for integrated pest management, the risk of herbicide resistance and a potential coming ban on glyphosate. It requires balancing between environmental effects and impact on yield and economy. The project's goal is …

Colibacillosis is a common disease in poultry and includes both local and systemic infections. Increased knowledge is necessary for development of effective methods to prevent disease, such as improved management routines, modification of environment, and vaccine development. The first study (WP1) …

Healthy seeds are a prerequisite for sustainable food systems. The seed-borne plant disease, common bunt (CB) in wheat, caused by the fungi Tilletia tritici and T. laevis, is a major problem in agriculture. Efficient chemical seed treatments exist, but it is often difficult to keep up with autumn …

A sustainable use of phosphorus fertilizers has engaged a large number of researchers, especially how to measure
the soil content of available phosphorus. However, the development of results to useful methods for agriculture has
not been a priority. The recommendations are based on extraction with …

Fruit tree canker, caused by the fungus Neonectria ditissima, has become a threat for Swedish apple production. No efficient protective measures are available and no complete genetic resistance is known in apple. However, apple genotypes differ in the level of partial resistance which must be fully …

Dairy cows are an important part of a sustainable and resilient food production as they facilitate circular flows on the farm and contribute to carbon sequestration, open landscapes and biodiversity. To achieve a sustainable dairy production in all parts of Sweden, we need large as well as small …

The rollback of insecticides exposes Swedish horticulture to a multitude of pests. Targeted and sustainable innovations are sorely needed. Here we target several pests of fruits, onion, cabbage, beans and salad and aim to develop 1) species-selective lures using a novel olfactomics platform, 2) use …

The goal with this project is to increase the profitability and production efficiency on Swedish dairy farms by renewing
the genetic evaluation of the breeding value of temperament in dairy cows. We want to investigate if automatic
recordings of behaviour using SLU Gigacow on farm level can improve …
