Arable crops system in Netherlands

The farm is located in Kraggenburg, Noordoostpolder, Flevoland.

Advantages of the system:
- The IPM approach allows to experiment with additional preventive control measures.
- Successful new measures are included in the IPM control strategy for specific pests, diseases and weeds.
- As a result we are gradually reducing the input of pesticides through applied agro-ecology and precision technology.
- Economically we continue to produce high quality arable products and seed.
- Chemical solutions should remain available as a last resort (emergencies).
- IPM currently results are in average reductions of 25% (fungicides & herbicides) and 30% (insecticides) as compared to current common local practice.
