  1. 1. Nodulation and biomass development of yellow and blue lucerne under pH stress

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Katarina Boström; [2023]
    Keywords : lucerne; blue lucerne BL ; yellow lucerne YL ; E. meliloti; nodulation; pH;

    Abstract : Approximately 77% of global arable land use is devoted to forage cultivation, which is the basis for animal production and global food security. Therefore a sustainable and biologically diverse forage cultivation is needed. Feed for cattle needs to contain a good balance between fibre, energy and protein. READ MORE

  3. 2. Nitrogen fixation in wheat (Triticum aestivum) : effect of Azotobacter salinestris CECT 9690 on N-accumulation

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : John Pålsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Biostimulants; Vixeran; N-uptake; N-concentration; yield; cereals;

    Abstract : Biostimulants are products that can improve nutrient availability, nutrient uptake, nutrient use efficiency and tolerance to abiotic stress with the aim to increase plant growth and yield. During the last decades, the interest in, and market for biostimulants has grown and is expected to have a large compound annual growth rate. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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.

  5. 4. 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

  6. 5. 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
