Publication number: 20170156342Abstract: The invention concerns a method for prophylaxis of infections by fungi, particularly by oomycetes, and of bacterial infections in crop and ornamental plants. Areas of application are vine, fruit, vegetable and ornamental plant growing. The problem underlying the invention is that of developing a method for prophylaxis of infections by fungi, particularly by oomycetes, and of bacterial infections, particularly by downy mildew (Peronosporales) and Pseudomonas syringae, in vine and vegetable cultivation. Surprisingly it has been found that selected proteases, alone and in combination with complementary enzymes, effectively prevent the infection of plants by certain phytopathogenic organisms. The protected plant is not infected. Hence propagation of the pathogen within the plant stock is prevented.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2015Publication date: June 8, 2017Applicant: BIOPRACT GMBHInventors: Matthias GERHARDT, Joachim PHEIFFER, Hanns-Heinz KASSEMEYER, Rene FUCHS, Sophie JACOBS

Publication number: 20170156352Abstract: A rotary cylindrical mould member and a method for its production, is adapted to be used in a system for moulding three-dimensional products from a mass of one or more food starting materials which are suitable for consumption. The method includes preparing at least one mould body forming part of the cylindrical outer surface of the mould member, wherein one or more recessed mould cavities are formed. Subsequently preparing a support member defining one or more fluid channels, recessed in the support surface Heat emitting parts or particles are provided close to the inner surface of the mould body and/or the supporting surface of the support member. Energy is provided to the heat emitting parts or particles, thereby causing the parts or particles to emit heat and thereby locally melt the adjacent porous first plastic and the second plastic to obtain a weld and thereby secure the support member and the mould body to each other.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2015Publication date: June 8, 2017Applicant: MAREL TOWNSEND FURTHER PROCESSING B.V.Inventors: Wilhelmus Gerardus Maria BOOM, Johannes Martinus MEULENDIJKS, Franciscus Quirinus Fredrik VEROUDEN, Thomas Willem DEKKER
