When @EU_Commission presented its #Pesticides proposal 2 months ago, Integrated Pest Management was the talk of the town.

But for our industry, #IPM has always been a hot topic🔥.

✅ Within #WP4 three #smart #sprayers have been developed, the @Pulv_Fede "Smartomizer H3O" sprayer for🍎#apple orchards, the #CAFFINI smart 🍇#vineyard sprayer & the #CAFFINI smart 🥕#carrot boom sprayer

🏅 All three sprayers have received various awards in renowned exhibitions

[OPTIMA - Optimised IPM System @Optima_IPM]

✅ Within #WP3 novel sustainable IPM strategies were developed for 🍎apple scab 🍇vineyard downy mildew and 🥕alternaria leaf blight in carrots, after evaluating the efficacy of novel #PPPs. Produced #BMPs are easily available at the #Optima_IPM webportal #library

For #agriculture 👨‍🌾 to be sustainable it must be efficient, productive & contribute to a resilient natural #environment.

Quick access to #innovation & #technology is key 💡 so farmers can help agriculture transition towards even more sustainable food systems. 🍏🌽🍅
