TP1-3: Central Services

Project coordination and site maintenance

Summary

As in the first two SIGNAL phases, Central Services takes a central position within the sub-projects of SIGNAL. This is where all the threads come together in project coordination. The harvest on the SIGNAL areas is carried out by Central Services, the area lease is taken over and the standard measurements of the nutrient content in the plants is carried out.

We also handle the reporting and coordination of the annual project meetings. An important new item in Phase 3 that Central Services will take on is the coordination and travel of the cross-BonaRes collaboration to determine nutrient use efficiency in innovative land use systems.

Together with TP1-1, we are cooperating with BonaRes projects CATCHY, DiControl, INPLAMINT, InnoSoilPhos and BonaRes Center long-term field trials to evaluate the use of nutrient response efficiency(NRE) in innovative agricultural management systems that use catch crops, adapted or alternative fertilization, and residue managements as a suitable index of nutrient use efficiency in these systems
