The scientific interest of the group directed by
Prof. Dr. Maria R. Finckh since 1999 lies in applied research
topics addressing the specific crop protection needs in organic
agriculture. Main focus is the development of preventative control
strategies to enhance and to improve crop health, as well as their
implementation in modern organic production schemes. The
interdisciplinary work covers the three crop protection sectors -
plant diseases, arthropod pests and weeds.
