Arrange progress

Crop research

A common characteristic of special crops is the comparatively low substantiated state of knowledge. This applies equally to the breeding progress and to information about cultivation. The effects of changes can therefore be significantly larger than with longer introduced species.
I offer in co-operation with partners:

• Field tests (small plots, accurate test and preliminary test)
Design, implementation and evaluation of experiments on agronomic parameters (Varity/accession-adaptation, methods of establishment, fertilisation, plant protection, resistence, plant care, water requirement, time of harvest and method of harvest as well as post-harvest effects.)
• Field tests on-farm (large plots, accurate test and preliminary test, pilot cultivation)
Design, implementation and evaluation of experiments on agronomic parameters (Varity/accession-adaptation, methods of establishment, fertilisation, plant care.)
• Pot trials
Design, implementation and evaluation of experiments with little environmental variation on most diverse questions. Nutrient solution supply and climate control is possible.

To answer more complex questions multifactorial series of tests (space-time components) can also be accomplished.
I treat data which was generated in projects (research, studies etc.) strictly confidential. Material will be published only after written order/permission from the client.

Statistics

One of the challenges of our time is handling the abundance of possible information. The correct selection of goal-oriented measured variables and afterwards the correct collection, processing and interpretation belongs into this area.

• Data generation
Generation of relevant data from trials or studies (e.g. market studies, cost evaluation of product lines, quality parameter etc.) and data base management
• Data evaluation
Inferential and descriptive statistics of records.
