Geza Horvath (1847-1937) was one of the founders of the Hungarian plant protection. Initially, he was a district doctor, but specialized in zoology, entomology and phytopathology. He began working with various elements of integrated plant protection, including biological control. He organized and was the director of the first institute, from which the Institute of Plant Protection was later organized. In Hungary, Geza Horvath also organized the first plant protection journal and the first association of Hungarian entomologists.
