Ida Karlsson

Researcher at the Dept. of Crop Production Ecology. My research interest is microbial ecology in agricultural systems. I am specifically studying the interaction between plant pathogens, plants, beneficial microorganisms and agricultural practices. I am also working with the official Swedish variety testing.
