Research

Ongoing projects:

- Ensuring a sustainable supply of clover seeds – dealing with poor seed set and seed predation (FORMAS, 2015 - 2019)

- Can increased bumblebee diversity in the agricultural landscape promote seed yield in red clover important for nothern Sweden (Regionalt jordbruksstöd, Lantmännens forskningsstiftelse, Partnerskap Alnarp 2019-2021).

- Development of biological strategies for control of seed-eating weevils in clover seed production (Partnerskap Alnarp 2016-2020).

- Differences in floral traits between modern cultivars and land races of importance for pollination success and seed yield in faba bean (Plattform Växtförädling, SLU 2019-2020).

- Collection and determination of airbourne peptides and spores from pathogens in nature (Crafoord Foundation, CF Lundströms stiftelse 2018-2020).
