Weed science and crop protection in arable farming

Leader: Ao.Univ.Prof.i.R. Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Johann Glauninger

Research topics: Weed Science: Weeds have, by definition, a negative influence on crops. Our research group studies the distribution of important or new weeds, their effects on yield and crop quality, and the development of effective control methods. A special area of research is the investigation of herbicide resistant types of weeds. Crop protection in arable farming: Topics at the moment are o sugar beet weevils and wireworm-problems in Austria; o selected plant protection measures in poppy.
