We are Verena Schieritz (24) and Roman Blümel (29) from University of Bonn, and we are looking forward to report on the IPPC on Wednesday, with the focus on opportunities of Integrated Pest Management. At University of Bonn, Verena is studying Molecular Crop Science and currently working on her Master thesis about herbicide resistant blackgrass. Roman is researching the effects of exogenous amino acid applications on nematodes, his PhD project at the Institute of Molecular Phytomedicine. Moreover, Roman is happy to host DPG-youth IPPC 2015 Berlin „world cafe“ discussion: “A world without synthetic plant protection agents – future or fiction?” We hope to see you there!
