from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Werner Schulze (born September 13, 1890 in Tappenbeck near Gifhorn , † January 17, 1993 in Celle ) was a German agricultural scientist .

Life

Schulze completed an agricultural degree at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena and in 1911 became a member of the Agrarian Academic Agricultural Association, which later became the NSC-Corps Agraria Jena . In 1921 he acquired the doctoral degree in philosophy with the dissertation A Contribution to the Method of Variety Testing with special consideration of von Rümker 's suggestions . He then worked for several years as technical manager and scientific assistant at a seed breeding company.

From 1929 he headed the Rostock- based department for arable and crop production at the Chamber of Agriculture for Mecklenburg-Schwerin until he was transferred to Main Department II of the Reichsnährstand in 1937 . There Schulze was appointed senior agricultural councilor in 1938 and the Reich agricultural councilor in July 1939 and took over the management of the arable farming department. In 1944 he was appointed professor at the University of Rostock .

After the Second World War he was one of the leading founders of the Research Institute for Agriculture (FAL) in Braunschweig-Völkenrode . Between 1948 and 1952 he was director of the FAL Institute for Crop Production and Seed Production, today's Institute for Crop Production, which under his leadership rose to become the center of German potato research .

Even after retiring from working life, Schulze continued to grow crops. The newly founded German Maiskommitee elected him as its chairman in 1956. The "Professor Werner Schulze Foundation for the Promotion of Crop Science", which he set up in 1985, takes care of the next generation of scientists in the field of crop production.

During his time at the Chamber of Agriculture, together with Werner Suckow, he published Der Zuckerrübenbau in Mecklenburg, taking into account the results of 7-year trials by the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Zuckerrübenbau (Rostock 1934), and various brochures for agricultural practice, including advice for agriculture in Mecklenburg (Rostock 1937).

At the FAL Institute, with the help of several employees, the publication The Sprouting Mood of Potatoes and its Significance for Breeding and Planting Production (Hanover 1951, series of the Braunschweig-Völkenrode Research Institute, Volume 3) was created, which had a lasting influence on potato cultivation. Schulze contributed the chapter on seeds and planting material (pp. 490-548) to the Handbuch der Landwirtschaft (Berlin and Hamburg 1952) .
