We integrate agroecological principles into cropping systems and crop protection, focusing on enhancing functional agrobiodiversity. Our practice-oriented research connects agriculture and nature by utilizing biological and environmentally friendly crop protection methods, such as natural pest control, biostimulants, mechanical weed management, and the use of disease-tolerant and pest-resistant varieties. Explore how our research paves the way toward a sustainable future for both agriculture and nature.
