EUCLID Newsletter 5 - March 2018

Demonstration trials on lettuce kicked off at INRA-Avignon where they experiment crops grown under innovative IPM practices, as developed within EUCLID research.
 

Innovative solutions for farmers are developed within EUCLID by designing "IPM packages" to favour the adoption of IPM by farmers dealing with grapes, leafy vegetables and tomatoes. The first IPM package is ready for testing.
 

The assessment of new methods in IPM has generated a lot of results during these two years of project work (carried out within WP2). Various biological control techniques have been used, including macro-biocontrol agents (i.e. products extracted from plants but also insects) and micro-biocontrol agents (i.e. fungi and bacteria).

H2020 projects for evidence-based agricultural related policies is the title of the workshop at the EU Parliament jointly organized by EUCLID and EMPHASIS, both H2020 projects promoting research and innovations on IPM. 

INRA Sophia-Antipolis presented EUCLID and IPM to middle and high school students in Antibes France, in the framework of a partnership programme between research institutes and schools of the area.
