OUR MISSION
The HGoTECH group has been founded to carry out research in the following areas:
- Plant nutrition
- Fertilizer development and application
- Efficacy and mode of action of biologically active compounds
- Nutrient recycling
- Improving stress tolerance of crops
- Organismic interactions in field and greenhouses
- Plant pathology and integrated pest management
- Disease diagnostics, including use of modern sensors
- … and further related topics!
For our customers, we develop approaches and concepts to solve basic and applied research questions, such as
- Development, improvement and testing of fertilizers
- Studies to optimize fertilizer application
- Assessment of nutrient efficiency, nutrient uptake and distribution following foliar application
- Optimizing foliar nutrient application
- Assessment of nutrient release and efficiency from secondary (raw) materials
- Assessment of the release of toxic substances and their mode of action
- Invigoration of plants through bioactive compounds and their effects on growth and yield
- Improvement of stress tolerance and physiological adaptation
- Plant pathology and integrated pest and disease management
- Pathogenesis of fungi and host pathogen interactions
- Development of innovative plant protection strategies and biocontrol agents
- Microscopic techniques and non-invasive sensor application
- Online-data evaluation of root and shoot growth
All research is carried out according to the rules of good scientific and laboratory practice.
