Lecture
A focus on current crop protection options at a time when the availability of traditional active substances is decreasing and pest resistance is becoming a common challenge. Attention is given to biological and integrated solutions as effective responses to these changes and as essential components of modern plant protection systems.
The content focuses on practically proven alternatives to restricted chemical solutions, including biological and plant‑based products, functional prevention, and combined approaches that increase crop resilience and enhance production stability under field conditions. It also highlights how the role of the agronomist is changing in the context of tightening legislation and market demands, and why sustainable and effective plant protection is becoming a key competitive advantage for agricultural enterprises.
