Benjamin Klauk

Dr. Benjamin Klauk is a Researcher at Department 1 of Technische Hochschule Bingen, specializing in agricultural weed management with a focus on sustainable and non-chemical control strategies. His work addresses herbicide-resistant weeds like Alopecurus myosuroides, exploring integrated approaches combining cultural practices, electrophysical methods, and alternative agrochemicals. He collaborates with the Hermann Hoepke Institute on applied research projects.

Research interests include:

• Electrophysical desiccation techniques for early potatoes
• Efficacy of cinmethylin under varying crop sowing dates
• Non-chemical weed control in stale seedbed systems
• Environmental impacts of agricultural technologies on soil organisms

Recent studies emphasize reducing chemical dependency through innovations like glyphosate alternatives and precision agriculture methods. His publications (2022-2024) demonstrate expertise in herbicide resistance management and crop-weed interaction dynamics.

Dr. Klauk contributes to cross-disciplinary initiatives at the university, supporting programs in Renewable Energy Management, Smart Systems Engineering, and Green Engineering. His research aligns with the institution's focus on sustainable technologies and climate protection initiatives.
