He was co-responsible for drafting, coordinating, and finalizing a Strategic Research Agenda for IPM in Europe, which shows the recognition he holds in the field of IPM at the European level. He has established several fruitful national and international collaborations across scientific disciplines (agronomy, plant pathology, soil sciences etc.) and scientific approaches (farm surveys, experiments, and modeling, etc.).
Abstract:
Field crop establishment is affected by climate and regulatory changes, cropping practices implemented to face these changes, and their interactions. This seminar aims to provide a short overview of these changes, emphasizing biotic and abiotic factors and their interactions affecting the quality of field crop establishment.
