Section overview
Description
The Department of Crop Sciences (DNPW) was founded in 2006 with the aim to coordinate research and teaching in the field of crop sciences, including agricultural ecology, agricultural technology, agricultural biotechnology and to develop and use. The DNPW consists of twelve departments
