With a focus on cereal and oilseed crops, the integrated pest management (IPM) hub features guidance on pests, diseases and weeds and the latest research findings to help you stay in control.
What is IPM?
Integrated pest management (IPM) is a coordinated and planned strategy for the prevention, detection and control of pests, weeds, and diseases.
The continuing loss of plant protection products and rising levels of resistance mean that the conventional crop protection toolbox is shrinking. At the same time, many policy drivers emphasise a need for reduced reliance on pesticides.
The adoption of IPM measures will help move crop protection towards a more sustainable future.
Further information
At the 2024 Agronomy Conference, Mark Ramsden (ADAS) examined how to improve IPM uptake. The presentation covered IPM tools and resources (through IPM Decisions) and knowledge sharing (via IPM Net).
