Society
The Journal of Plant Diseases and Protection is the official organ of the German Society of Plant Protection and Plant Health (Deutsche Phytomedizinische Gesellschaft e. V. (DPG)).
The costs for the Journal are included in the DPG member fee. Full members receive a cost-free print or online copy.
The German Society of Plant Protection and Plant Health(DPG) is the largest scientific association in plant production in Germany. The Society is membership-based, and its members are professionals within the entire field of phytomedicine. We define phytomedicine as the science of plant disorders (whether biotic or abiotic), their diagnosis, management and control. Phytomedicine deals with all infectious agents that attack plants, and also covers damage caused to crops by pests, diseases and weeds. Under our definition, we additionally include abiotic disorders such as drought, frost, flooding, poor drainage, nutrient deficiency, salt deposition and other soluble mineral excesses or wind, which may occur naturally or be man-made. Other examples of man-made ‘problems’ include soil compaction, pollution of air and soil, salt applications on roads in urban areas, overuse of pesticides, as well as poor education and poor training of people working with plants.
Aims and objectives of the Society:
The DPG is a scientific association with the purpose of promoting research in the entire field of phytomedicine and the application of the results gained thereby, primarily to advance education within plant health and to support extension services. The Society pursues its goals through:
a) Organising or supporting scientific meetings and conferences;
b) the joint organisation of national and international congresses, symposia etc (e.g. the German Plant Protection Congress in co-operation with the Federal Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry and the German Plant Protection Services; the international symposium Plant Protection and Plant Health in Europe in co-operation with the British Crop Production Council);
c) offering scientists opportunities to join 18 working groups (see below);
d) establishment and development of relationships not only with other organisations that have similar aims and objectives but also with professional colleagues abroad;
e) co-operation with universities and other training establishments, with the aim of providing advice in the establishment of study plans and education curricula;
f) promotion of young scientists;
g) provision of information to the general public on the aims and objectives of phytomedicine;
h) publication of research results from the entire area of phytomedicine and the promotion of such publications (e.g. Journal of Plant Diseases and Protection, the DPG in-house journal Phytomedizin, specific proceedings of conferences and symposia);
i) awarding of prizes and medals;
j) promotion of the career, legal and social interests of its members, in collaboration with other (mainly national) organisations.
