Teaching

I teach in ecology, crop protection and sustainable cropping system primarily on the Agronomy programme with a soil and plant specialisation.

Students interested in writing their bachelor or master thesis on crop protection against insects, beneficial insects or diversified cropping systems are welcome to contact me.
