We’re excited to announce a new series of practical, in-field IPM comparison reports now available in the IPMWORKS Toolbox! These reports are the result of coordinated work within Work Package 3 (WP3), led by ADAS, and were carried out in close collaboration with farmers across Europe through the IPMWORKS demo hubs.
The findings, originally submitted as part of Deliverable D3.7, are now available as standalone comparison reports, making it easier than ever for farmers, advisors, and researchers to access detailed, practical insights into the effectiveness of different Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques in real-life farming conditions.
These trials reflect the diversity of crops, climates, and IPM challenges across Europe, and cover everything from mechanical weeding in barley to biocontrol for root diseases in soft fruits and pheromone disruption in vineyards.
