Our Research
The aim of our research is to gain fundamental knowledge about plant pathogenic fungi and oomycetes, the interaction with their host plants and the interaction with bacteria as they occur in the rhizosphere. This knowledge can then contribute to prevention, management or control of diseases in important agricultural crops.
