Marco Tasin
My main interest is to promote a transition towards a sustainable food production. Through an active co-learning program with stakeholders, we aim at implementing conservation practices, semio-chemicals and functional agro-biodiversity within cropping systems.

Teaching

Agroecology Basics LB0078 (Course leader)

Odlingsystem i trädgårdsföretag BI1143 (Plant protection part)

Urban agriculture and social interaction LK0212  (Plant protection part)

Research

Current projects:
•Study of the synergy between semiochemicals and flower strips on biological control of aphids and leafrollers (Formas, Core Organic)

•Effect of landscape and orchard management on pollination and biological control (Biodiversa)

•Design of new orchard system in collaboration with end-users (C-IPM)

•Development of a new attract & reward formulation to enhance biological control in apple and cereals
