Research areas

The aim of the project is to investigate the N2O emissions and the underlying microbial processes in the soil with different irrigation and nitrogen fertilization in potato cropping. The project combines agronomic and microbiological analyses with N2O flow measurements in field trials. The influence of sprinkling irrigation, drip irrigation and fertigation with corresponding N fertilizer application on the microbial activity and thus the N2O emissions will be investigated. Area and product related total emissions and the main influencing factors are determined to derive appropriate management strategies.

My responsibilities: 

§     Scientific work on the microbiological part of the research project

§  Support in carrying out the field trial including taking soil samples

§  Isolation of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) from soil samples

 

§  Application of molecular biological methods for the detection of the microbial diversity (qPCR of functional marker genes of the nitrogen cycle, high-throughput sequencing)
