Economic and environmental constraints are pushing down piglets’ dietary protein content and several amino acids (AA) tend to limit performance. Various synthetic AA are often used...
Shedding light on the future: fluorescent sensors
Fluorescence emission is a well-known physicochemical phenomenon that has been used in research for decades. New methods based on fluorescence emission have been developed by CRA-W....
The spore sensor: a forest health barometer
Many of the diseases affecting our forest species are caused by fungi that spread via wind-borne spores, sometimes over long distances.
Towards Coordinated Integrated Pest Management in Europe?
Integrated pest management has gained a new European tool: the lC-IPM Era-net consortium, in which CRA-W represents Wallonia. The consortium comprises 21 countries from within and...
CRA-W’s experimental piggery serves industrial research
Whereas CRA-W’s experimental farm is known for its zootechnical approaches with animals, it is also involved in more specific cooperative links that contribute to industrial research....
Chemical composition of plant biomass and energy use
In a rapidly changing world, and faced with the challenges of green growth and climate change, the wide availability and sustainability of plant biomass give it significant potential...
CRA-W BOOSTS ITS COOPERATIVE LINKS WITH INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS
International organisations have made ever-increasing use of CRA-W’s services in recent years for quality control of plant protection products used in agriculture and biocides used...
Phytoremediation in partnership
Two research teams, one from CRA-W and the other from the University of Liège, have joined forces to develop plant engineering for phytoremediation (IVEREM) and provide sustainable...
Hybrid oilseed rape varieties become reality
Since the renewal of interest in oilseed rape growing in Wallonia that began in the early nineteen eighties, breeding has been characterised by a series of significant innovations...
