SLU Centre for Biological Control

We contribute to the development of new knowledge concerning the use of living organisms to control pests and diseases.

  • The centre is virtual with researchers located at different SLU departments in Uppsala and Alnarp.
  • A close cooperation with stakeholders, such as growers, industry, authorities and organisations is an important part of our activities.
  • Contact us if you have questions about our business or would like to discuss research collaborations, orders or inquiries.
