ADOPT-IPM

?? Join the Final IPMWORKS Webinar on March 12 (14:00–17:00 CET) for an insightful discussion on the future of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). This online event will showcase the main outcomes of the project, highlight success stories from IPM farmers, and explore policies to support holistic IPM adoption in Europe. With a mix of expert presentations, real-world testimonies, and interactive discussions, this webinar is a great opportunity to gain valuable insights into the next steps for sustainable crop protection. ??

??We’re excited to announce the latest progress in the ADOPT-IPM project: the development and field application of IPM Packages for tomato, lettuce, cabbage, wheat, and maize. These packages combine existing and innovative solutions, now being tested in field trials.

On November 28, 2024, our partners from the Università di Catania (UNICT), in collaboration with AGROBIO, organized a successful Demo Day at Econatura Group’s organic farm in Ragusa, Sicily. ??The event showcased innovative Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies for tomato farms, including the use of alternative plants like Verbena x hybrida and Sesamum indicum to manage pests such as the South American tomato pinworm (Tuta absoluta). Participants explored experimental greenhouses, observed treatments combining tomatoes with alternative plants, and engaged in innovative pest and beneficial insect sampling activities.?? ??The interactive seminar featured insightful presentations and discussions led by experts from UNICT and AGROBIO, fostering knowledge exchange among farmers, agronomists, researchers, and students. This Demo Day emphasized the importance of collaboration and innovation in advancing sustainable agriculture. ??

Benjamin Gard from the CTIFL is organising a field day tomorrow in Balandran (FR) on lettuces to demonstrate the results of a trial on novel IPM techniques. The CTIFL tested two ADOPT-IPM innovations: (1) a biological control botanical strategy through lettuce a mass release of eggs of the predator Chrysoperla lucasina using the PULZOR device developed by the partner IFTECH, and (2) the combination of this lever (C. lucasina eggs) with the use of flower strips alongside of the tunnel to enhance the presence of natural enemies of aphids. Flower strips were composed of the following species: Calendula officinalis, Lobularia maritima, Achillea millefolium, Secale cereale, and Hordeum vulgare. Those strategies were compared to a conventional strategy used by growers in France which is the application of spirotetramat (MOVENTO) an effective insecticide to control aphids. The field day conclusions and pictures to come soon !

??Last Friday both Chinese and European partners shared their research in the China-Europe?Symposium on Innovation and Development of IPM on Agriculture, which was held on Guiyang, China and was organised by State Key Laboratory of Green Pesticides (Guizhou University). The goal of the Symposium was to both strengthen EU-China Cooperation and to enhance the application of IPM strategies among farmers in global Agriculture. ????The event gathered great talents including academicians, experts, and business representatives involved in IPM research and application of these innovations.

??Today marked the final day of the China-EU Joint Annual Meeting on Key Technological Innocation Cooperation Research for IPM on Agriculture in Guiyang, China! Experts from both Europe and China discussed about their innovations and what are the best strategies for the future of the project. ??Once more, thank you to our Chinese hosts for organising the event! #ADOPTIPM #Innovation #ChinaEUColaboration "

At today's ADOPT-IPM Annual Meeting in China, participants focused on sharing insights and collaborating with Chinese partners on innovative tools developed for integrated pest management. A key goal of the discussions was to explore ways to harmonize research findings from both Chinese and European partners to strengthen joint outcomes. In the afternoon, the Group visited the State Key Laboratory of Green Pesticides at Guizhou University, where we gained valuable insights into their impressive research and ongoing projects. #Innovation #ADOPTIPM #Biopesticides #Sustainability
