Project Title:
Opportunities and Risks of New Breeding Technologies for the Functional Biodiversity of Arthropods
Strategic Research Field:
Biodiversity
Plants produced using bioengineering methods can simplify agricultural practices, increase yields, and reduce environmental pollution from chemical pesticides. For the sustainable use of these plants, side-effects, including those impacting on biodiversity, must be kept to a minimum.
Agroscope investigates the ecological effects of plants with new traits with a special emphasis on beneficials, and analyses how these plants could improve existing production systems. For this, we develop methods and explore interactions between plants, herbivores and beneficial arthropods in the laboratory, in the greenhouse, and outdoors on the Protected Site.
