Department of Plant Protection Biology, SLU in Alnarp

Johan work with integrated plant protection for strawberry, mulch and other crops. An important issue to solve is how to optimize the biological control of harmful insects without weakening the crop's own resistance properties. Read more about his research here.

Maria Viketoft

Deputy director

Maria's area of expertise is nematode ecology,  in particular how these worms interact with plants (both crops and wild plant species) and other soil organisms. Read more about her research here.
