New projects

We research and develop for the future.

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

Partners: Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences, Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences, Feldsaaten Freudenberger

BiDenT

Development of biological control methods against the pine moth (Dendrolimus pini) using the egg parasitoid (Trichogramma dendrolimi).

Partner: Northwest German Forestry Research Institute

ATTRACAP®

Optimization of an attract & kill strategy for wireworm control in potato farming as a contribution to sustainable crop protection.

PICTAKILL

Development of novel formulations of behavior-manipulating strategies for the biological control of Cacopsylla picta, the apple fruit fly vector

HOPE

Development of holistic formulation processes for biological plant protection in soft fruit.

Partners: Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences, Fraunhofer Institute Gießen, Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences, Feldsaaten Freudenberger, Spargel- und Beerenanbau Winkelmann
