Jag är professor i produktionsbiologi.

Forskningsområde

Min forskning rör alla aspekter av vallproduktion för konservering och bete till idisslare och hästar. Framför allt är jag intresserad av odlingsmaterialets (både tempererat och tropiskt) fysiologi, skötselkrav och kvalitet, och hur man komponerar fröblandningar för olika behov. I mina projekt har jag arbetat över hela skalan från den molekylära nivån till gårdsstudier.  

Pågående forskningsprojekt

• Ekosystemeffekter i flerartsbestånd av vall
• Fröblandningar med lusern
• Kontroll av skräppors etablering från markens fröbank
• Kväveutnyttjande från svingödsel
• Intensivt skördade vallar
• Cikoria (Cichorium intybus) – en potentiell vallfoderväxt
• Förändring i genetisk diversitet hos röd- och vitklöver med olika ursprung
• Avkastning och kvalitet hos taro (Alocasia macrorrhiza) och stylo (Stylosanthes guianensis)
• Mikronäring i vall
