Plant Protection Engineer and Advisor at bioTomal Magyarország Kft. (HU)

A horticultural engineer and plant health specialist focusing on plant protection and sustainable growing strategies in fruit production as well as other agricultural crops. Her professional work includes designing effective protection and nutrition systems that integrate biological and integrated approaches and respond to current practical challenges.

She collaborates with growers to assess crop health, optimise protection measures, and enhance production stability. She regularly shares her hands‑on experience through expert presentations and practical, grower-focused workshops for orchards, vineyards, and other crops.


Presentation

A clear overview of the key elements of spray technology: nozzle types, droplet size, water quality and conditioning, and adjusting spray volume to the canopy. The goal is to achieve better coverage and higher efficiency while reducing waste and drift.

Special attention is given to the role of spring wash sprays, solutions accepted in organic production and correct dose calculations for both extensive and intensive orchards and vineyards. Participants receive practical, ready‑to‑use recommendations.
