PhytoProtect – Neue Methoden zum nachhaltigen Schutz von Kulturpflanzen vor Schadinsekten

The research projects funded by the PhytoProtect initiative aim to contribute to the development of new methods to protect crops from damage caused by insects and the pathogens they transmit. This requires research into the biotic interaction between plants and insects, as well as research into new biological solutions and methods for plant protection. These must be highly specific to the respective pests in order to protect non-target organisms and thus ultimately biodiversity. To achieve this, it is essential to gain a better understanding of the complex mechanisms of interaction between plants and insect pests, from the molecular to the ecosystem level. This measure therefore also aims to strengthen entomological expertise in Germany.

This funding guideline focuses on basic and application-oriented research and development for new methods and approaches to adapted, efficient and innovative plant protection. Ultimately, this should lead to sustainable and holistic applications in order to secure yields, nutrition and ecosystem services in the long term and with a view to the future.
