Trees for Streets - EIP project video
Trees in cities are particularly hard hit by the effects of climate change, especially due to extreme weather conditions and increased pest pressure. The EIP project "Trees4Streets" is developing root-hardy and climate-adapted trees. Clones are propagated in the laboratory for this purpose. Several tree nurseries are then testing cultivation under field conditions. Plane trees and a hybrid of winter and summer lime trees are showing promise for the future. The project aims to produce urban trees faster and more cheaply.

Mycorrhiza - EIP project video
Video
Mycorrhiza are fungi that bind underground with plant roots and form a symbiotic relationship with them. Plants benefit from this symbiosis in many ways. For example, mycorrhiza increase the availability of water and nutrients. In the EIP project, mycorrhizal mixtures specially adapted to agricultural crops are being developed and applied together with the seed in the form of granules. An innovative feature is a seed coating that brings the seed together with the fungi in an optimal composition. Especially in times of climate change, the fungus can show its potential: it strengthens the plants against drought and makes it possible to do without pesticides and fertilizers.

Sensor supported irrigation control of potatoes - EIP project video
Video
Climate change is increasingly reducing the amount of water available for plants due to changes in precipitation and higher temperatures. Many crops therefore need to be irrigated. The project is testing sensors that can determine the time and quantity of irrigation more precisely. Evaporation is measured using the CWSI (Crop Water Stress Index). The index indicates when and how much water potatoes, for example, need. This can make agricultural irrigation more sustainable.
