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

Young horses can develop cervical vertebral stenotic myelopathy and ataxia, known as "wobbler syndrome" and associated with loss of breeding value, reduced athletic potential and euthanasia. Some wobblers have osteochondrosis of their vertebral facet joints, but it is now known how this relates to …

Just going to the bathroom is contributing to algae blooms and climate change. Sweden alone releases roughly 15400 tonnes of N and 240 tonnes of P into lakes, rivers and seas, through municipal wastewater (including after treatment). Urine contains 80% of the plant nutrients found in wastewater and …

Heat stress is expected to be of major concern in Swedish animal production systems in the future. The air temperatures in parts of Sweden are expected to correspond to today's temperatures in southern Europe, where livestock experience heat stress today. Excessive thermal load affects the welfare …

Poultry have a strong motivation for foraging and spend most of the day pecking and searching for food. In commercial conditions, the birds are fed a pellet diet, which is consumed very quickly. Consequently, hens spend a large part of the day engaging in abnormal non-food related pecking …
