We've heard it before, cows are agriculture's big climate sinners, but what if you could reduce methane emissions by making them graze on fields with tannin-rich plants? A researcher from the Department of Agroecology at Aarhus University has been awarded a prestigious Sapere Aude grant to investigate just that.

Researchers from Aarhus University provide a thorough insight into how the interaction between plant chemistry and microbiomes is affected during an attack by a fungal pathogen. This knowledge improves the possibilities of exploiting plant chemistry and microbiomes in crop protection

In a new project funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark, researchers from Aarhus University will investigate the possibilities for a cost-effective and efficient way to reduce pesticides leaching from Danish agricultural fields. The project "Novel rhizosphere-activated hydroxyl radical oxidation of pesticides", or OHiROOT for short, will use iron-modified biochar and wetland plants to remediate pesticide polluted fields and water bodies in an economical and efficient way.

Mogens H. Greve is our new Professor of Pedology and Digital Soil Mapping at the Department of Agroecology at Aarhus University. He will be celebrated at an inaugural lecture on 15 December 2022 at 11.00 - 13.00.

Aarhus University is a part of an innovational project aimed at developing pyrolysis into an efficient and economical climate technology for Danish agriculture. The SkyClean Scale-up project has received DKK 124 million from NextGenerationEU, and the first ground has just been broken for the new pyrolysis plant
