The Scientific Society for Plant Protection and Plant Health in Germany is the professional association of practitioners and scientists of plant health, plant protection, and plant diseases, as successor to the Association of German Plant Physicians that was based in Berlin from 1928 to 1937. The DPG was founded in 1949 in Fulda. The DPG headquarters is located in Braunschweig [1]
The society focuses on research of parasites and other growth problems of crop plants, consultancy in the area of Phytomedicine and disease, and measures for health maintenance in plants. It is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Plant Diseases and Protection and has participated in the German Plant Protection Conference & the International DPG Berlin Symposium. The DPG has published its findings in the journal PHYTOMEDICINE as well a series titled "SPECTRUM PHYTOMEDIZIN."
The DPG is a member of the Organisation for Plant Protection in Europe and the Mediterranean, German Nation Committee for Biology (DNK), and the International Association for the Plant Protection Sciences.

The German Physical Society is the oldest organisation of physicists. As of 2022, the DPG's worldwide membership is cited as 52,220, making it one of the largest national physics societies in the world. The DPG's membership peaked in 2014 when it reached 63,000, but it has been decreasing since then. It holds an annual conference and multiple spring conferences, which are held at various locations and along topical subjects of given sections of the DPG. The DPG serves the fields of pure and applied physics and aims to foster connections among German physicists, as well as the exchange of ideas between its members and foreign colleagues. The bylaws of the DPG commit the organization and its members to maintain scientific integrity and ethics, including freedom, tolerance, truthfulness, and dignity in scientific work, as well as promoting gender equality in the fields of physics and related sciences.
Phytopharmacology is the study and practice of eradicating plant pathology originated from the Verbandes Deutscher Pflanzenärzte (1928–1939),, headed by Otto Appel, known as the Organiser of German Plant Protection, who initially defined the terminology of Phyto-Medicine or Plant Medicine. The Deutsche Phytomedizinische Gesellschaft is the German association of phytomedicine practitioners. Academic programs in phytomedicine, such as at the University of Hohenheim, consider the interrelationships between pathogenic microorganisms and crops, disease control methods, and research programs.
