Ivana Dminić Rojnić

Dr. Ivana Dminić Rojnić is a Professor of Professional Studies at Veleri College, specializing in Biotechnology with a focus on plant protection and agricultural sciences. She teaches courses including Biometrics in Viticulture, Botany, Plant Physiology, and Olive Cultivation. Her research primarily addresses challenges in olive cultivation, particularly pest management and disease control in Istrian olive groves. She has authored over 15 peer-reviewed articles focusing on olive fruit flies (Bactrocera oleae), olive moths (Prays oleae), and pathogenic fungi affecting olive trees.

Her work emphasizes organic pest control strategies, GIS applications for pest monitoring, and the impact of insecticides on olive yield. Key contributions include studies on yeast protein extracts for wine stability (2024), Pseudomonas savastanoi-induced olive knot disease (2009), and olive fruit fly dynamics using yellow sticky traps (2011). She collaborates closely with regional farmers to mitigate crop losses caused by invasive pests and diseases.

No scientific awards or student advising records are listed. Her research extends to agricultural economics, analyzing pest-related economic impacts on olive farming (2007).
