Strawberry is an important horticultural crop with an annual production of 566 MSEK. A higher competitiveness of the Swedish strawberry industry is paramount in order to sustain and develop it for the future. To secure high yields of good quality, superior cultivars and optimal management are crucial. In this project, we focus on Everbearing (EB) strawberry cultivars used in tunnel production in Sweden. EB cultivars facing challenges due to their strong reproductive tendency that represses leaf initiation and growth, limiting leaf canopy for support of fruit growth and thereby leading to unstable yield potential. The project addresses, flower mapping, nectar content and pollination as tools to indicate stable yield of EB cultivars. Interactions of these tools with environmental signals controlling plant growth and flower formation are evaluated. The project provides solutions directly related to the cultivation process that can lead to sustainable production of EB cultivars in tunnels
Jordgubbar är en viktig trädgårdskultur med en årlig produktion på 566 MSEK. Den svenska jordgubbsindustrins högre konkurrenskraft är avgörande för att kunna upprätthålla och utveckla den för framtiden. För att säkerställa höga avkastningar med god kvalitet är överlägsna sorter och dess optimala hantering avgörande. Projektets focus är på remonterande (RM) sorter, används i tunnelproduktion i Sverige. Dessa sorter står inför utmaningar på grund av deras starka reproduktiva förmåga som undertrycker bladinitiering, vilket begränsar stödet till frukttillväxt och därmed leda till instabil avkastningspotential. Projektet adresserar, blomkartläggning, nektarinnehåll och pollinering som verktyg för att indikera stabil avkastningspotential hos RM sorter. Interaktioner mellan dessa verktyg och odlingsfaktorer som kontrollerar tillväxt och blombildning utvärderas. Projektet ger lösningar direkt relaterade till odlingsprocessen och därmed till en hållbar produktion av RM sorter i tunnlar

The aim of the project is to study effects of LED-light on milk production and activity in dairy cows. The main hypotheses are that LED light allows maintained cow activity and milk production with less energy used for illumination, and that LED-light makes it possible to apply a dark period during …

The role of liming in the crop rotation remains to be thoroughly investigated. Within two recent SLF projects, yield in sugar beet, barley and oil seed rape has been measured in the first rotation. In 2018, beets will be grown for a second time which gives us unique possibilities with the aim to …

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 …
