Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an ecosystem-based approach to solving pest problems whilst minimising risks to people and the environment.
Innovative examples using modern technologies include electronic sensors, robotic crop inspectors and low-energy lighting within the horticultural sector. This ‘high-tech approach’ is not just reserved for protected crops as drone technology, satellite imagery and nutrient mapping are changing the way arable and fruit tree farmers approach problems by providing an almost unlimited level of detailed information that is helping the grower in new and exciting ways.
Our event aims to recognise and disseminate exciting new methods and highlight the barriers to development and commercialisation.
We offer a platform to bring together those involved in the agribusiness chain, to present and discuss new innovations and how they are being implemented in crop protection. It is a unique opportunity for industrialists and leading researchers to share approaches and experiences in this strategic domain.
