  1. 6. Weather you like it or not : pre-season yield forecasting of malting barley with climate markers.

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Elsa Rozenbeek; [2023]
    Keywords : Yield forecasting; extreme weather; pre-season forecasting; climate markers; climate predictors; climate patterns; model calibration; DSSAT; crop model;

    Abstract : Different means of yield forecasting have been investigated in many publications, although very few with a focus on pre-season forecasting. Climate change and the increasing risk of extreme weather events is a threat to food production, and early yield predictions could therefore be beneficial for farmer’s planning and management as a way towards more resilient food production.

  3. 7. Beware of your neighbour : the effects of intraspecific interactions and CO2-level on the plant growth of two Barley cultivars

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Author : Nadja Nyberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Barley; Salome; Fairytale; cultivar mixture; pure stand; intraspecific competition; plant-plant interactions; competitive ability; elevated CO2;

    Abstract : Plants have evolved several ways to sense what is going on around them. They can detect possible competitors by picking up on airborne Volatile Compounds emitted from neighbouring plants. The cues can induce growth responses that enhances the competitive ability of the receiver. READ MORE

  4. 8. Beyond the Bubbles : a Study of Fungal Diversity and Gushing in Beer Production

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Alexander Pettersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Fusarium Head Blight; Fungal communities; Metabarcoding; Amplicon sequencing Malting barley; Gushing; Pink kernels; Random forests;

    Abstract : Gushing, violent and spontaneous over-foaming of beer, is a well-known quality reducing phenomenon encountered in the brewing industry. The present study investigated the impact of fungal contamination in barley grains, specifically focusing on gushing and the occurrence of pink kernels. READ MORE

  5. 9. Identification and expression of genes involved in the arabinoxylan biosynthetic pathway in oat

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Author : Johan Valeur; [2022]
    Keywords : Arabinoxylan; Oat; Gene expression analysis;

    Abstract : Oat is one of the most cultivated cereal crops in the world, and Arabinoxylan (AX) is a dietary fiber in oats with positive health effects. The biosynthetic pathway AX in Oat is still unknown, and which genes are active in its production. Ortholog genes have been identified in oat from other species like rice, wheat, barley, and Arabidopsis. READ MORE

  6. 10. Jämförelse mellan olika jordbearbetningsmetoder vid etablering av vårkorn

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Henrik Frisk; [2022]
    Keywords : plog; kultivator; tallrikskultivator Carrier; ultragrund; vårkorn; etablering; skotträkning; axräkning; tilling; spring barley; reduced tilling;

    Abstract : I dagens jordbruk effektiviseras allt för att spara tid, pengar och miljö, men samtidigt bedriva en effektiv odling som ger hög avkastning. Det är därför intressant att studera vilken jordbearbetningsmetod som är effektivast för att få en bra etablering samt en bra axbildning, som bygger hög skörd. READ MORE
