The research of the business unit Biointeractions and Plant Health focuses on the analysis and exploitation of plant/pathogen interactions, symbiotic and other microbiological interactions.
We develop new strategies and technologies for integrated crop protection, plant health management and ensuring food safety. |
Key concepts:
testing, detection and identification of plant pathogens,
- identification and use of active organic substances and micro-organisms,
- genome analyses for the identification of virulent genes of plant pathogens,
- epidemiological and population dynamic input for decision support systems, and
- integrated control strategies of pest and diseases.

In 2008 the former PPO-business unit Bees was added to Biointeractions and plant health.
