Johan Stenberg, Professor of integrated plant protection, gives inauguration lecture
Published: 21 March 2019
Johan A. Stenberg is a professor of integrated plant protection since 1 November 2018. His inauguration lecture has the title: "En bukett av vilda växtskyddsåtgärder för framtidens odlare" and will be given on the 10th of May.
Johan Stenberg's research area includes interactions between plants and their pests. His early studies concerned wild plants, but today he focuses on the more vulnerable cultivated crops, especially in horticulture.
In his research, he tries to understand how different ecology-based plant protection measures can be combined to combat pests and promote beneficial organisms in cultivations.
The goal is to create a bouquet of measures that together provide future growers with an effective and environmentally friendly plant protection.
Since autumn 2018, Johan is part of the Centre for Biological Control, CBC.
