About Me

I worked for the Biocont Magyarország Kft. in affiliation of the Biocont Laboratory Ltd. Biological plant protection producer company as a Senior Technical Adviser

During my studies and work I had a chance to get acquainted with the many processes of plant protection. In many cases I also had a chance to use the products and evaluate their efficacy. In my early years at study-farm, we regularly organised meetings for farmers where we presented our research and demo-work. At the Faculty we developed a lot of international contacts and we regularly cooperated with foreign institutes and companies, conducting experimental work for them. I was involved in organising and actively participated (as a lecturer about different crop protection issues) in meetings, held under the umbrella of the Agricultural Ministry Regional Advisory Program. During this period I learned a lot about dealing with different people who are involved in agriculture.

For the VILMORIN historical French international seed company, I worked on product development in 6 countries (Hungary, Slovak Republic, Czech Republic, Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia). I collaborated with the exclusive distributors of the countries. I was in daily contact with the product managers and breeders in English.

Before the variety registration, I set up local experiments for the breeding program. Additionally, I implemented and evaluated the perspective hybrids in the region. I supported their work with presentations, partner meetings and technical assistance, gaining professional international experience.
