Our research
In addition to research and development work in our production processes, we are also researching new solutions for pests in agriculture and horticulture.
Current research projects
SynCoIn
Development of alternative control strategies and methods to control the cicada vector Pentastiridius leporinus of the sugar beet disease “Syndrome Basses Richesses” to ensure yield stability.
Partners: Institute of Sugar Beet Research, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Südzucker AG, Pfeifer & Langen GmbH & Co. KG
AttraCorn
Further development of an “attract and kill” formulation for the control of wireworms in maize.
Partner: University of Bielefeld, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen
BIOBUG
Biotechnical control of the invasive brown marmorated stink bug Halyomorpha halys in organic fruit and vegetable production using push-pull-kill methods based on aggregation pheromones combined with caromones.
Partner: Julius Kühn Institute Dossenheim / Institute for Plant Protection in Fruit Crops and Viticulture, Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences
Completed research projects in the last 5 years
FORK
Development of innovative formulation processes with synergists and endophytes as novel plant strengthening agents for potato crop rotation
