Several species of the fungus Clonostachys have been shown to have the potential to be used as biological control agents in a new study from SLU. Eleven fungal genomes have been sequenced and

This summer, gardeners throughout Sweden could report which organisms lived on their strawberries, such as insects, birds and diseases. The SLU team behind the strawberry app had hoped for more

A study at SLU and University of Copenhagen investigated why the authorization process for microbiological plant protection agents is lengthier in the European union than in other comparable

The demand for pollinator-dependent crops is increasing. At the same time agriculture is challenged with increasing restrictions on pesticides. Integrated pest management has been suggested as a way

Treatment of Norway spruce seedlings with the plant hormone methyl jasmonate (MJ), can effectively reduce insect damage— and this protection can last over a year, according to a recent study from the
