Plant health division:the plant health theme undertakes innovative basic and applied research, with the underlying principle of developing control options for crop pests. The overall aim is to reduce the use of pesticides and subsequent impacts on the health of people, animals and the environment, and the inevitable resistance that comes from extended use of such products. The theme's research is based on the discovery and strategic use of biopesticides, semiochemicals, and other naturally-occurring compounds that can be employed to disrupt the pests' life cycles, and control them through the use of natural enemies.
