The @EU_Commission proposal for a #SUR must be revised substantially to make it feasible & adapted to reality of #growers & #farmers➡ much of it is wrong : targets, undue burdens, #IPM interpretation, lack of #innovative solutions etc.! 6/6➡️ See here 👉https://t.co/BzxxW584Bf
EU #AgriOutlook 2022. Soils is important for agriculture & food security🌽🫘. @EU_ScienceHub projections estimate an increase of soil erosion mean rates in EU 🇪🇺in the range 13-23% by 2050. This is driven by climate change and increase of rain intensity🌧️ https://t.co/sr4m8zJhPU
Theoretical debate on #PPPs & #SUR proposal at @LivePOLITICO#POLITICOAgriFood by @IBMAgl & @Food_EU
❌no real account of impacts
❌no real link to way #farmers, esp. of arable crops, need to protect their crop
❌still no viable alternatives, no #NBTs
➡️significant losses ahead
🧑🌾Any proposed alternatives to chemical PPPs should be affordable, effective and sustainable. We call on the @EU_Commission to focus on making effective alternatives - such as NGTs - available to farmers so that the use of chemical PPPs can be reduced.

📢#Sugar#Beet have emerged! Beet #growers main concern is #weedcontrol. Sugar beet seedlings are very sensitive to weeds, which if left uncontrolled can cause massive yield loss. A combination of chemical & mechanical control can be an efficient response.
