Development, Biomass and Nitrogen Allocation, and Seed-Yield Components in Faba Bean (Vicia faba)
(Master thesis, 2022)Europe has a great demand in plant-protein for food and feed. A high amount of the demand is met by soy import from South America. Europe and Norway aim to become self-sufficient producers in plant-proteins. One of these ... -
Disease development of Chondrostereum purpureum in common Norwegian plum cultivars
(Master thesis, 2021)Silver leaf disease, caused by the basidiomycete Chondrostereum purpureum, is a growing problem in Norwegian plum production. It affects the overall health and lifespan of the fruit trees. The inoculation experiments in ... -
The effect of crop diversification in small fields on the community of natural enemies on the ground: A strip cropping experiment with white cabbage in the Netherlands
(Master thesis, 2020)Agricultural development has contributed significantly to the decline in biodiversity over the last century. Crop diversification is promoted as a strategy to mitigate this ongoing catastrophe. This study investigates the ... -
The effect of expanded and extruded process on pellets physical properties and in sacco rumen degradability
(Master thesis, 2021)Rumen degradability kinetics was investigated for concentrates with different physical functional properties. Three diets with SBM (30%) and barley (70%) were produced by ether expanded press process (Con) or by an extrusion ... -
The Effect of UV Radiation on Myzus persicae and the Biological Control Agent Aphidius colemani
(Master thesis, 2020)Greenhouse light technologies are advancing, giving new opportunities in pest management such as UV treatments against pathogenic fungi. Little is known about how these methods affect other relevant organisms in protected ... -
Etablering av Ulven nærmiljøhage: utfordringer og muligheter for drift
(Master thesis, 2022)While urbanisation is accelerating, cities are facing huge environmental, social and economic challenges. Urban agriculture can contribute to more sustainable cities through better environment and climate, building social ... -
Evaluation of susceptibility to fruit tree canker caused by Neonectria ditissima
(Master thesis, 2021)Fruit tree canker caused by Neonectria ditissima is a major bark canker disease on apple especially in temperate regions with high humidity and precipitation. The fungus can infect plant material through natural or artificial ... -
Frøutvikling og modning av åkerbønne (Vicia faba L.) under norske dyrkingsforhold
(Master thesis, 2021)Åkerbønne (Vicia Faba L.) er en vekst med lang veksttid, noe som kan by på utfordringer ved dyrking i Norge. Målet med denne oppgaven var å undersøke frøutviklingen og modningsforløpet i åkerbønne under norske dyrkingsforhold, ... -
Functional analyses of FvMYB46-CRISPR/Cas9-edited Fragaria vesca plants
(Master thesis, 2021)One of the biggest humanitarian challenges in the world today is food security. Improving food production requires improvement in the productivity of existing crops. Plant diseases are major causators of crop yield losses, ... -
Kan ulike salter og fysiologisk alder hos lagringspotet påvirke fasthet til potetbiter i potetsalat?
(Master thesis, 2017)Poteter blir høstet om høsten og lagret slik at de kan brukes hele året. Mills bruker på denne måten ferske poteter i potetsalat hele året. Etter kundeklager på for harde potetbiter i potetsalat har Mills begynt arbeidet ... -
Kvalitet i remonterende og kortdagsplanter av jordbær (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.)
(Master thesis, 2021)I Norge er jordbærsesongen relativt kort og dyrkning av jordbær i nord kan være problematisk, på grunn av det kjølige klima. Ved å dyrke jordbær i tunnel vil det bidra til en forlengelse av vekstsesongen i sør og det kan ... -
Optimization of regeneration of red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) cultivars ‘Veten’ and ‘Ninni’ using different light qualities
(Master thesis, 2020)Customizable light technology is becoming commercially available to producers, giving opportunity to increase control in plant production systems. Understanding of how specific light qualities affect different species and ... -
Organisk avfall som vekstmedium og næring for solbær (Ribes nigrum L.) på intensivt grønt tak og sosiale effekter av urbant landbruk
(Master thesis, 2018)Til urban dyrking i bykjernen er det vanlig å kjøpe jord siden jorda i byen ofte er forurenset. En sirkulær økonomi, med fokus på avfallshåndtering, er derfor en forutsetning for at urban dyrking skal være bærekraftig. ... -
