Holistic IPM: Reducing Pesticide Use

 

The European Union has set the ambitious target to reduce pesticide use and impact in European agriculture. IPMWORKS and IPM Decisions are two sister H2020 projects contributing to this challenging objective by promoting a holistic approach for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and jointly organising the IPM Conference 2024 in Brussels, 14th May 2024.

Please sign up for registration to the event.

IPMWORKS is an EU-wide network of farmers and advisers engaged in the reduction of pesticide use and the demonstration that it is feasible and cost-effective, when the five pillars of IPM are combined at the farm level.

The pan-European IPM Decisions platform provides farmers and advisers with easy access to Decision Support Systems for avoiding unnecessary pesticide treatments. Specialised dashboards for applied researchers enable evaluation, comparison, adaptation and development of decision support.

The IPM Conference 2024 will provide a forum for stakeholders involved in the development of IPM, including: farmers, advisory services, retailers, agro-industries, researchers, decision support developers and policy makers. The Conference will present results and tools produced by the two projects, with testimonies of farmers and advisers highlighting success stories in IPM implementation and practical solutions to reduce the reliance on pesticides.

Now you can check out the first version of the programme. 

The Conference will be held in person and in English (no streaming)

Integrated Pest Management highlights the growth of a healthy crop with the least possible disruption to agro-ecosystems and encourages natural pest control mechanisms. IPM is one of the tools for low-pesticide-input pest management, and IPM must now be implemented by all professional agchem users.

Invertebrate pests cause problems in agriculture when the level of injury they cause reaches a point where the crop yield is significantly reduced.
