We, namely Heike Pannwitt (30) and Sabine Andert (27) are happy to report about the news from the IPPC on Tuesday. As PhD students we are working in the Group Crop Health at the University of Rostock in Germany. Here, Heike is testing the potential of seed predators in agroecosystems for their weed control and Sabine investigates plant protection intensities in different model regions in Germany. We will see each other at the IPPC on Tuesday.
