SFB 564: D1.3 - Regulation of flowering in tropical fruit crops on erosion prone sites in Northern Thailand (Project)
Specific basic and applied science activities for each crop will be carried out in an attempt to solve the following issues. Longan Previous research work has shown that flower induction can successfully be manipulated by application of KClO3. This crop is therefore an ideal “model plant” to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of flowering by: 1. determining acquisition and distribution of...

SFB 564: D2.3 - Efficiency of smallholder animal husbandry depending on intensity of management and genetic potential of livestock - Community driven breeding programmes: Optimisation of planning procedures (Project)
In the mountainous regions of North Vietnam, smallholder farmers try to sustain and improve their livelihoods under conditions of growing population density and land pressure. Livestock husbandry appears as major development opportunity for them. Yet, “mountainous regions” are heterogeneous, comprising areas near town with favourable access to markets and infrastructure but higher land pressure...

SFB 564: D6.1 - Improving fruit set and quality standards of mango in the mountainous area of Vietnam (Project)
A major problem in mango production in Northern Vietnam is a premature fruit drop. However, the underlying plant processes in response to environmental and/or crop management factors are not understood. There is a general belief that this phenomenon is caused by different combinations of stressing factors which may vary between different regions and sites. In the mountainous area of northern...

SFB 564: E1.2 - Multi-layer drying models for optimising high value crop drying in small scale food industries (Project)
Fruit tree cultivation is a suitable option for erosion control in mountainous regions of Southeast Asia. However, seasonal overproduction and insufficient access to markets can cause economic losses. The possibility of processing fruits locally could contribute considerably to increase and stabilize farm income. Currently, fruit drying methods in these areas are yielding products of inferior...

SFB 564: E2.3 - Shelf life extension of fresh litchi, longan and mango fruits through integrated postharvest techniques (Project)
In Northern Thailand and Vietnam, fresh fruit marketing still plays the key role in utilisation of the highly perishable fruits studied. Increasing export rates aspired by local fruit producers are hindered by the present practice of shelf life extension based on sulphur fumigation and fungicide application, respectively, because of raising legal and consumer restriction. Alternative ways...

SFB 564: E4.1 - Quality and food safety issues in markets for high-value products in Thailand and Vietnam (Project)
The production and marketing of high-value agricultural commodities – such as fruits, vegetables, and livestock products – has been an important source of cash income for small-scale farmers in the northern mountainous regions of Thailand and Vietnam. However, against the background of recent free trade agreements and market liberalization, there is increasing national and international...

SFB 564: F1.3 - Economic valuation of environmental improvements in Northern Thailand and Vietnam (Project)
In the second phase the empirical aim of subproject F1.2 in Thailand was to assess the social benefits arising from environmental improvements in the uplands of the Mae Sa water catchment in northern Thailand which might lead to a melioration of tap water quality for the downstream suburban population of Mae Rim. For this purpose the possibilities of using the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM)...

SFB 564: F2.3 - Impact valuation of land allocation and rural finance policies (Project)
Despite significant progress, hunger eradication and poverty alleviation remain an enormous concern to the Vietnamese Government, especially in the Upland areas. Targeting micro-finance, agricultural technology, education, health, and safety net services to the poor are among the major instruments of Vietnam’s poverty reduction strategy. In the 1st phase, sub-project F2 analysed the factors that...

Quantification of the migration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from various consumer products at regular handling conditions (Project)
Recently, Stiftung Warentest detected high amounts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in consumer products like hammer grips. As yet no systematic studies have been performed on the issue of how much of the PAH content present in consumer products may leave the material and migrate off at regular handling conditions. There is also no estab-lished and accepted experimental model to address...
