🎉 Τhe #Optima_IPM final #Review meeting was successfully completed yesterday. This is the end of a great journey, carried out by an excellent #Consortium
💡 #Research as it ought to be!
#DYK there are four categories of biopesticides?
🧪semiochemicals
🌺natural substances
🐞macrobials
🦠microbials
#Biopesticides play an increasingly important role in helping farmers to fight against pests and diseases 🧑🌾🌾.

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🔥.
IPM strategies help farmers to mitigate the impact of pests & disease ⬇️

✅ 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
✅ 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. 🍏🌽🍅
