Costs and benefits of measures to promote functional #biodiversity are being assessed at farm and society level. This will help #farmers make decisions on beneficial strategies for their specific #farmingsystem and regional conditions
Although the dangerous #insecticide #chlorpyriphos has been banned in the EU in 2020, it remains in use threating #ecosystem service providers and other non-target #arthropods. To maintain #biodiversity of these species, alternative solutions need to be elaborated
Studies carried out in @EcoStackH2020 show that #Systemin treated plants are resistant to the noctuid moth #SpodopteraLittoralis and to the fungal pathogen #BotrytisCinerea. These results provide proof of concept for the use of exogenously supplied systemin as a #biopesticide
#EIPabstract #Fieldtrials in the UK and Germany show that #OSR companion #croppingsystem can protect the crop from cabbage stem flea #beetle adult attacks. They show for the first time that not only #legumes but also #cereals can have a strong protective effect on the crop
After 3 years we finally meet again, in person, in Barcelona for our 4th #AnnualMeeting. Experts will cover various reports and protocols from the different #workpackages, as well as progress, results and challenges. Thanks to the local organizer @BiologiaUB
Surveys on #oilseed #rape fields and adjacent semi-natural habitats in #England shows that combining molecular and traditional methods for the construction of #ecological networks unravels the relationship between #ecosystem services and #landmanagement practices
@EUgreenresearch
@VesselaStoyanov We invite all stakeholders to join the conference “Multiple crop protection practices for #sustainable #agriculture June 3 10:00 to 11:30 amCEST us06web.zoom.us/j/8273352042…

EcoStack Workshop on Bioprotection: Present and Future
Tomorrow and Wednesday on line - Register at this link!
ecostack-h2020.eu/2021/09/28…
#ecostack #workshop #H2020 #bioprotection
#parasitoids and predators have evolved virulence strategies and host-regulation mechanisms to circumvent their hosts’ immune defence system. @EcoStackH2020 provides a platform for the development of #bioinspiredtools for #pestcontrol, mimicking #insect suppression strategies

@EcoStackH2020 #ALMaSS is a #landscape scale agent-based simulation system comprising many interconnected sub-models. It will provide evaluations of how to achieve targets (e.g. Green Deal 50% #pesticide #reduction), at the same time boosting #ecosystem service providers.
@EcoStackH2020 @EIP Various #plant species were tested for sown flower margins designed to enhance biological control and #pollination #ecosystems services in oilseed rape. The study was conducted in UK, Serbia, Bulgaria and Spain, to tailor region-specific #flower margins.

#EUregulations on approval of plant-beneficial #microorganisms and related products are scattered and have poorly performed so far. Harmonized regulations stronger rooted in #microbiological #sciences and covering all #plant-beneficial microorganisms are needed.
#Trichoderma is an effective #biocontrol agent of #plant pathogens and pests. The study of #insectpests on #tomato plants colonized by different Trichoderma strains revealed the role of temperature in
the interaction between a specific #fungal strain and the plant.
