Three researchers from Tech have received grants totalling DKK 9.5 million from the Novo Nordisk Foundation's programme for research into plant, agriculture and food science.

New research suggests that crops have different potential for protein extraction in biorefining.

The carbon cycle, especially CO2, plays a role in climate change. Agriculture is responsible for a large share of climate gas emissions, and even small changes in the soil's carbon pool can reduce or increase emissions. There is therefore a need for accurate inventories of agricultural soil carbon and, in particular, changes in the carbon pool. An improved methodology now makes it possible to take into account soil bulk density and rock fragments, so that inventories can be more accurate than before.

Researchers from across Europe will work together to use artificial intelligence to monitor and predict soil health. This is happening in a new Horizons Europe project (AI4SoilHealth), which aims to create a digital infrastructure for monitoring and forecasting soil health indicators in Europe.

The results of a study on late blight show 100% resistance to one of the most important fungicides in potato production. Researchers find the development of the new variant of late blight worrying in relation to future control in Danish fields.

New experiments at Aarhus University have secured important knowledge about fertilising organic clover grass. It is a step towards developing targeted strategies for optimal fertilisation of clover-grass mixtures.

Water correctly and add nitrogen in the right amount, and you'll not only increase yields, you'll also reduce nitrogen leaching from your fields. That's the recipe from researchers at Aarhus University.

There are many things to look out for if you want a sustainable Christmas tree this Christmas, here's one expert's take on what to choose.

According to the Danish Parliament's "Agreement on the Green Transformation of Danish Agriculture", agriculture must contribute significantly to achieving the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 70% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. An increase in the soil's carbon stock through changes in field management can reduce annual CO2 emissions, but calculating the carbon storage potential of different crops is a complicated matter. Researchers from Aarhus University have used long-term experiments to quantify the carbon storage potential of grass clover in rotation.

In mid-November, Trine Nørgaard, an assistant professor at the Department of Agroecology at Aarhus University, received DKK 2.8 million from the Inge Lehmann programme under Independent Research Fund Denmark. The money will be used to close-study Aeolian dust, and it may help to improve Greenlandic agriculture.
