Deciding the appropriate course of action to prevent, detect and control pests, weeds and diseases can be time-consuming and complex. That's why @AHDB_Cereals is collaborating @IpmDecisions to put robust decision support systems (DSS) at your fingertips https://t.co/T8ajQEb4PU

[NFU Plant Health @NFUPlantHealth]

We need members to take part in a project investigating how Integrated Pest Management can play a part in future Environmental Land Management.

Take a look below for more info and how to get involved!

Any farmers looking to offload some flea beetle larvae? @AHDB_Cereals

[Dr Claire Price @CSV_Price]

I find myself in need of cabbage stem flea beetles for my experiments with biopesticides, so I'd be happy to hear from oilseed rape growers with heavy #csfb infestation in my DMs 👋

@essexwindyfarm @parker419 @RTKfarmer @FarmerSimonC @LouisMcAuley @EwenMcEwen Question of what this means for in-field aphids and risk to crops is something ADAS are looking at in our BYDV project: https://t.co/V3FpNMrCoU

[Charlotte Rowley @CHC_Rowley]

@essexwindyfarm @parker419 @RTKfarmer @FarmerSimonC @LouisMcAuley @EwenMcEwen Yes, just been looking at data from BYDV testing of suction trap samples this year - seems to be hovering around 20-30% R. padi testing +ve for virus but a lot of variation (circle size represents numbers tested - not the same every week).

[Charlotte Rowley @CHC_Rowley]

So much going on in the next phase of our cabbage stem flea beetle research over the next three years - from migration monitoring to risk mitigation strategies. More details here: https://t.co/zIu1iBRXbZ @AHDB_Cereals @ADASGroup @HarperAdamsUni

[Aoife O' Driscoll 🧫🧬🦠 @allohexaploid]

Our 2020 survey on #OSR #CSFB-now in it's 6th year with ~1100 responses in 2019-is live! New features include an option to upload pics of your crop (so we can determine what a 'bad' crop looks like in different regions) & an option to go back in the spring & report larval damage.

[Bastiaan Brak @bastiaan_brak]

Most wheat crops probably not drilled yet but the BYDV management tool from @AHDB_Cereals is live again. https://t.co/fu8sTjImqq

[ADAS @ADASGroup]

Take a look at the latest daily data from our new @AHDB_Cereals funded Cabbage Stem Flea Beetle project. Highest numbers being found in areas with a long history of #CSFB problems.

We'll use this data to identify weather that encourages their migration @SachaWhiteIPM

[Insect Survey @Rothamsted_RIS]

Our BYDV text messaging service informs cereal growers about the number of aphid vectors in their area. It is free. Why not sign up? See the aphid-alert page: https://t.co/bzTCf38sXB

[Dr Ben Clunie @benclunie]

Heading back to lab and few final experiments needed to clear up thesis work. However, in need of #wireworm desperately - anyone have a known infested site I could visit or alternatively know anyone willing to send specimens - any quantity welcome. Please share this about!

[Kelly Jowett @kelly_jowett]

Farmers- want to know more about ground beetles? Take part in part 2 of my #BeneficialBeetlesSurvey & you get pitfall trapping factsheet, and an introduction to ID! Step 1- view my animation: https://t.co/8lHq1NDkJb @Rothamsted @CAER_Reading #farmers #agriculture #IPM #farming

[Catherine Harries @CatherineHar4]

I've just updated the #sclerotinia forecast for the last time this season. If you have found the tool useful or have any suggestions, please get in touch #IPM #OSR @AHDB_Cereals

[Rothamsted Research @Rothamsted]

We are assessing whether flower-rich margins, hedgerows or tree lines are helping improve yield - and asking farmers to help. In return, we'll share what we find in the form of tips for improvement.

Now open for applications: @AHDB_Cereals funded PhD opportunity @HarperAdamsUni working with @ipm_tom to improve in-crop monitoring and use of trap-cropping as novel approaches to the integrated pest management of aphid BYDV vectors in winter cereals https://t.co/ztUOVe2Pg1

Peter Seymour from @ADASGroup describes the aphid mummies made by different parasitoid species. Crops surveys found Diaretiella rapae is the most common naturally occurring parasitoid of peach-potato aphid in the UK @AABiologists #aabipm2019

[Charlotte Rowley @CHC_Rowley]

@Dr_Joe_Roberts talking about his work on a two-pronged approach for aphid control in brassica veg and oilseed rape. Slowing down aphid development and speeding up biocontrol. @AABiologists #aabipm2019
