Biografi

Mitt hovudarbeidsområde er sjukdomar relatert til fruktdyrking. Forskarkarrieren min starta med ei doktorgrad om rotne moreller. Etter det har eg hatt fokus både på rotne eple, plommer og moreller i tillegg til viktige sjukdomar på trea som frukttrekreft og bakteriekreft. Forskinga har vore anvendt og med fokus på problemstillingar som er viktige for heile verdikjeda i fruktnæringa. Delar av arbeidet vert difor gjort i nært samarbeid med pakkeri og planteskular.

It is highly unlikely that Anagyrus vladimiri will be able to establish or spread in Norway. There are no native host organisms, and winter temperatures are too low. Therefore, it is likely that the parasitic wasp will not affect local biodiversity. Thus concludes the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment (VKM). Background VKM has assessed the environmental risk of using the product Citripar in Norway. The risk assessment was carried out at the request of the Norwegian Food Safety Authority. Citripar, a product for biological control, is being sought for approval for use in Norway. The product contains the parasitic wasp Anagyrus vladimiri and is intended to be used against mealybugs, especially the species Planococcus citri and P. ficus, on fruits, berries, vegetables, and herbs in greenhouses and plastic tunnels, as well as on indoor plants. Conclusions There have been no reported observations of Anagyrus vladimiri in Norway. VKM assesses that Anagyrus vladimiri will not be able to establish and spread in Norway under current conditions. Anagyrus vladimiri will have no effect on biological diversity in Norway, as there are no known native host organisms that the wasp can parasitize. Individuals of what is now known as Anagyrus vladimiri were for many years identified as belonging to the species Anagyrus pseudococci. Anagyrus pseudococci and A. vladimiri belong to a complex of species that are almost impossible to distinguish from each other and are informally referred to as the Anagyrus pseudococci complex. The risk assessment is approved by VKM's Panel on Plant Health.

Det er utført forsøk med soppmidler i bygg, løk, gulrot og eple. I bygg er det testet ulike varslingsmodeller i VIPS mot byggbrunflekk. I gulrot er det utført forsøk mot gropflekk og ulike lager- og bladflekksjukdommer både i felt og på lager. I eple er det gjort forsøk for å finne nye midler mot lagersjukdommer.
