What a great session!!
Many thanks to @doctorxkefauver and José Luis Araus @UniBarcelona

Yesterday, we took learning to the skies.

Students of the International Master in Plant Genetics, Genomics and Breeding explored plant responses to abiotic stress using field, proximal and remote sensing tools.

Led by Shawn Kefauver and José Luis Araus (@UniBarcelona ).

[Joaquín Balduque @JBalduque]

It is a privilege to be able to teach our students – the breeders of tomorrow – these kinds of tasks.

Many thanks to @EEAD_CSIC for their cooperation and support!

Challenges of adopting IPM. As in other publications, this one also emphasises, among other things, such necessary aspects as:
✅Focus on prevention
✅Strengthen extension systems and coordination
✅Institutional and public support

This really interesting study reveals the 3D structure of a barley root protein that protects plants from toxic aluminum in acidic soils!

@FJLacueva I could ask you the same thing @FJLacueva !

[Joaquín Balduque @JBalduque]

Very interesting article by @FAO
and @ippcnews on how #ClimateChange impacts #PlantHealth

It highlights the importance of:
✅ Early warning systems and pest monitoring
✅ International standards

#OneHealth

[Joaquín Balduque @JBalduque]

Interesting article comparing the #IntegratedPestManagement approach between 🇪🇺 and 🇺🇲

The combination of
✅Regulatory oversight
✅Flexible incentives
✅Improved risk assessment tools

➡️Could lead to more effective IPM adoption
