Research Data Agroecological pest control through mulch in potatoes - Delayed population development of Leptinotarsa decemlineata [Dataset](Universität Kassel) Weiler, ChristianeLeptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) is one of the most relevant pests in potato cultivation and even in organic potatoes, it is often managed using pesticides. Mulching potatoes represents an alternative to reduce egg masses and larvae of L. decemlineata. In three 4-fold replicated field trials with unmulched control plots (a) in comparison to plots mulched with grass-clover (b) or triticale-vetch (c) the effects on L. decemlineata population dynamics were assessed. In 2020 and 2021, larvae and their respective developmental stage of L. decemlineata were recorded twice weekly on 30 marked potato plants per plot. In 2022 assessments took place 3 times during the season on 16 plants per plot. To examine the influence of changed microclimatic conditions due to mulching, temperature loggers were installed 15 cm above the canopy and belowground. The number of larvae of L. decemlineata was significantly reduced on average by 65 % in the mulched treatments and higher larval stages occurred later and in lower numbers compared to the unmulched plots. In 2022, also a significant reduction of second-generation adults of L. decemlineata could be observed. During warm and hot weather, the canopy temperatures in the mulched plots considerably exceeded those of the unmulched plots, often reaching peak temperatures well above the optimum for L. decemlineata development. Mulching leads either to delayed or reduced immigration of adult beetles as well as potentially to slower egg and larval development.Research Data Basis for monitoring the performance of Sustainable Development Goals in Organic Food Systems.

Even in organic potatoes, CPB are often managed using organically certified insecticides that may also affect non-target organisms and increase the risk of insecticide resistance. Applying transferred organic mulch to potatoes has been shown to reduce egg masses and larvae of CPB, however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. To assess effects of mulch on initial infestation of CPB, marked individuals were released in the field between plots with transferred organic mulch and plots with bare soil and counted after 12 h in 2021 and 2022. In 2022, one additional assessment was carried out 72 h after release and eggs and larvae where assessed after 10 days. More than 75% of CPB adults preferred the unmulched plots, a major reason for the reduction of eggs and larvae in mulched potatoes found in previous field trials. Barrier effects, olfactory disruption or disorientation could be responsible for the reduction.Research Data Legume-colonizing aphids as potential PNYDV-vectors: Reproduction and infestation dynamics in two different field bean varieties [Dataset](Universität Kassel) Berawe, Ahmed; Ziebell, Heiko; Seeger, Judith Nora; Saucke, HelmutThis data and corresponding manuscript partly demonstrates why the ‘GL Sunrise’ faba bean variety has exhibiting lower viral symptoms in the field despite lacking resistance to Pea necrotic yellow dwarf virus (PNYDV). The apparent field resistance to PNYDV in the faba bean cultivar ‘GL Sunrise’ is due to effects on aphid vectors that transmit the virus between plants. This research shows aphid reproduction on the ‘GL Sunrise’ variety was lower compared to the ‘Fuego’ variety. This work also shows the importance of conducting lab experiments to complement field work with relevant field-derived aphid strains. This research provides valuable insights into PNYDV occurrence in the field and informs the development of resistant varieties. This work also shows that varietal testing should include assays to test a range of aphid behaviours as well as growth and reproduction when evaluating new varieties.Research Data Performance and meat quality of 58 Angler Saddleback pigs (supplemental data)Olschewsky, Anna; Hinrichs, Dirk; Thaller, GeorgResearch Data Presence of keel bone damage in laying hens, pullets and roosters of local chicken breeds [Dataset]Jung, Lisa; Hinrichs, Dirk; Thiemann, Inga; Hillermacher, SonjaResearch Data Presence-absence dataset of dominant weed species and their groups by life form(Grünlandwissenschaft und Nachwachsende Rohstoffe) Schmidt, Fruzsina; Böhm, Herwart; Graß, Rüdiger; Wachendorf, Michael; Piepho, Hans-PeterResearch Data
