Defensive Responses and Trophic Interactions in Crops

The research group Defensive Responses and Trophic Interactions in Crops operates in one of the most critical areas for contemporary agriculture. In a global context marked by climate change, increasing international trade, and the urgent need to reduce the use of chemical pesticides, farmers face unprecedented challenges in maintaining crop productivity and ensuring global food security. Climate change is intensifying the pressure from pests and diseases, while restrictions on the use of conventional pesticides require more sustainable and eco-friendly solutions. In this framework, our group is dedicated to developing innovative strategies that enhance crop resilience and reduce the impact of pests, thus contributing to more sustainable and environmentally-friendly agriculture. Our group has established strong national and international collaborations, working with various research institutions to share knowledge and advance the development of applied solutions for crop pr
