His research focuses on plant-pathogen interactions, particularly Fusarium species and their mycotoxins in cereal and legume crops. He investigates biological control methods using plant extracts, nanoparticles, and beneficial microbes. His work integrates molecular techniques like qPCR and genomic analysis with field and laboratory studies to improve plant health and food safety.

The recent publications highlight a strong trend in developing rapid, non-destructive detection methods for fungal contamination using electronic noses and GC-MS, alongside exploring sustainable alternatives to chemical pesticides. His work also extends to biofertilizers, seed priming, and the impact of agricultural practices on crop health.

Adam Okorski has supervised two doctoral students as a co-promoter and is accepting new PhD candidates. He has a robust publication record with over 100 articles, significant citations, and an h-index of 11 on Google Scholar.

He is actively involved in research projects related to:

• Biological plant protection in nurseries
• Use of plant extracts and nanoparticles in disease control
• Molecular identification of fungal pathogens
• Impact of fertilization and agricultural practices on crop health
• Development of diagnostic tools for mycotoxin-producing fungi
