Having introduced the participatory approach in the second leaflet in ENDURE’s Training in Integrated Pest Mangement (IPM) series, researchers at Hungary’s Szent István University have now produced a third leaflet taking an in-depth look at conducting successful participatory training.
The United Kingdom has launched a 12-week consultation on how best to introduce the European Union’s new 'pesticides package’, inviting all interested parties to contribute to a process which will help the government draw up ‘implementing legislation’ to bring UK pesticide law into line with the new European legislation.
The fourth and final leaflet in German from ENDURE’s From Science to Field Potato Case Study series is now available online. Widerstandsfähige Sorten gegen die Kartoffelkraut- und Knollenfäule (Using Cultivar Resistance to Reduce Inputs Against Late Blight) reveals the significant role that late blight resistance can play in reducing fungicide inputs as part of an integrated control strategy.
ENDURE has produced a new guide to the key features of www.eurowheat.org, the research-based website that supports integrated disease management in wheat. Developed by Denmark's Aarhus University in collaboration with its ENDURE colleagues, EuroWheat now has 13 partners and non-ENDURE members are welcome to join the partnership.
Western corn rootworm (WCR) has plagued American maize growers for more than a century and become a serious pest in Europe too, spreading across a broad swathe of Central Europe since first being discovered in Serbia in 1992. A new guide from ENDURE examines ways of tackling the pest using an Integrated Pest Management approach.
Useful new documents have been added to the pages offering information for policy makers, including ENDURE’s response to last year’s BiPRO report to the European Commission's Directorate General-Environment examining guidance for establishing Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles.
The fifth and final leaflet from ENDURE’s Banana Case Study is now online, offering insights into commercial banana production in Spain’s Canary Islands, where growers have more than a century of experience in growing Europe’s most popular fruit.
With the details of more than 50 papers and presentations online, ENDURE’s newly updated section, Papers in scientific journals, offers the chance for all those involved in crop protection to catch up on the research conducted and published by the Network of Excellence’s scientists.
ENDURE’s Banana Case Study has been a truly international effort, bringing together researchers from as far afield as the French West Indies, the Canary Islands and Cameroon, in addition to the expertise based here in mainland Europe. The results of this international effort are now being made available in a series of publications in ENDURE’s From Science to Field series.
With more than 13 million hectares of farmland devoted to maize in Europe, the crop clearly merited the attention of one of ENDURE’s case study research teams. And you can now read the results of their research in a paper recently published in the Journal of Applied Entomology.
