Objectives

The objective of IPMWORKS is to promote the adoption of IPM strategies, based on a EU-wide network of farmers, who will both progress further in the adoption of IPM – through peer-to-peer learning and joint efforts – and demonstrate to other farmers that holistic IPM “works”; i.e. allows a low reliance on pesticides with better pest control, reduced costs and enhanced profitability. IPMWORKS will coordinate existing networks promoting IPM and launch new hubs of farms in regions or sectors where IPM pioneers are not yet engaged in a relevant network.

Objectives

L'objectif d'IPMWORKS est de promouvoir l'adoption de stratégies de protection intégrée (PIC) contre les bioagresseurs, en s'appuyant sur un réseau européen d'agriculteurs qui progresseront dans l'adoption des principes de la PIC - grâce à l'apprentissage entre pairs et aux efforts conjoints - et démontreront aux autres agriculteurs que la PIC "fonctionne", c'est-à-dire qu'elle permet une faible dépendance à l'égard des pesticides, une meilleure maîtrise des bioagresseurs, une réduction des coûts et une amélioration de la rentabilité. IPMWORKS coordonnera les réseaux existants et lancera de nouveaux groupes dans les régions ou les secteurs.

Activities

Under the project IPMWORKS, existing IPM networks in five European countries (FR, DE, NL, CH and UK) will be pursued and new hubs (new demo farm groups) in 14 European countries will be established. Hubs are groups of typically 10-15 farms in the same agricultural sector and the same region, where farmers can interact, meet frequently to exchange knowledge and experience on IPM strategies, and have specific activities for in-farm design of IPM-based strategies. All farmers with their "hub coaches" are ready to support demonstration events, communicate, and provide requested information to describe their IPM strategy and evaluate their farm performance.

Activities

Dans le cadre du projet IPMWORKS, les réseaux existants dans cinq pays européens seront poursuivis et de nouveaux hubs (nouveaux groupes de fermes de démonstration) seront établis dans 14 pays européens. Les "hubs" sont des groupes de 10 à 15 exploitations agricoles, où les agriculteurs peuvent interagir, se rencontrer fréquemment pour échanger des connaissances et des expériences et avoir des activités spécifiques pour la conception de stratégies. Tous les agriculteurs et leurs "accompagnateurs" sont prêts à soutenir les événements de démonstration, à communiquer et à fournir les informations requises pour décrire leur stratégie et évaluer les performances de leur exploitation.

Context

The reliance of European agriculture on pesticides is high. Across most European farms (excluding organic), the protection of crops from pests (insect pests, diseases, weeds, and others) to avoid crop yield losses relies mainly (and even sometimes exclusively) on pesticides. This high pesticide use has led to increasing concerns about their impact on the environment and on human health and can cause long term technical problems as resistance.

Conforming to Directive 2009/128/EC on the Sustainable Use of Pesticides (SUD), EU Member States have established national action plans, some of which explicitly target the decrease in reliance on pesticides. Reducing pesticide use is considered as the best way to minimise exposure of the environment, animals and human beings, and therefore decrease negative impacts. The SUD promotes Integrated Pest Management, i.e. a combination of alternative approaches and techniques contributing to regulating pests to keep the use of plant protection products to levels that minimize risks to human health and the environment. According to this directive, compliance with IPM principles is mandatory for all professional users of pesticides throughout EU Member States and has been since January 2014.

Despite the SUD and national action plans, the overall use of pesticides in the EU has not decreased since 2011. One major problem for the promotion and monitoring of IPM adoption is that IPM is a flexible concept. The big challenge for European agriculture is to broaden this group and promote the more general adoption of advanced IPM. IPMWORKS aims to achieve this by using “success stories” on IPM, as these have proved to be a powerful validatory demonstration tool. It will also engage with, and use existing IPM demo farms.

Additional information

Dans la plupart des exploitations agricoles européennes à l'exception des biologiques, la protection des cultures contre les bioagresseurs reste très dépendante des pesticides afin d'éviter les pertes de rendement. Cela a suscité des inquiétudes croissantes quant à l’impact sur l'environnement et la santé humaine et peut entraîner des problèmes techniques à long terme tels que la résistance.

Conformément à la directive 2009/128/CE sur l'utilisation durable des pesticides (SUD), les États membres de l'UE ont établi des plans d'action nationaux, dont certains visent à réduire la dépendance à l'égard des pesticides. La réduction de l'utilisation des pesticides est considérée comme le meilleur moyen de minimiser l'exposition et donc de diminuer les impacts négatifs. La SUD encourage la protection intégrée des cultures (PIC), c'est-à-dire une combinaison d'approches et de techniques alternatives contribuant à réguler les bioagresseurs afin de maintenir l'utilisation de pesticides à des niveaux qui minimisent les risques.

Néanmoins, l'utilisation globale des pesticides dans l'UE n'a pas diminué 12 ans. Un problème majeur pour la promotion et le suivi de l'adoption de la PIC est que la celle-ci est un concept flexible. Des agriculteurs pionniers à travers l'Europe testent et mettent en œuvre avec succès des stratégies avancées en obtenant de bons résultats avec une faible dépendance à l'égard des pesticides. Le grand défi est d'élargir ce groupe et de promouvoir l'adoption plus générale de la lutte intégrée avancée. IPMWORKS vise à atteindre cet objectif en utilisant des "exemples de réussite" qui se sont révélés être un puissant outil de démonstration. Il s'appuiera également sur les fermes de démonstration existantes.

The farm is located in Níjar, Almeria, SpainAGRONOMICAL CONTEXT OF THE FARM• Greenhouse area: 3 ha• Sweet pepper, tomato and watermelon crops• Biological control use, releasing natural enemies in the crop, and interplanting flower stripsMAIN PESTS• Aphids in sweet pepper and watermelon crops• Whiteflies and Tuta absoluta in tomato cropsSTRATEGIES IMPLEMENTED• Plastic mulch to prevent weeds and maintain soil moisture• Plantation of several species of beneficial plants (with flowers) to provide habitat and food resources to natural enemies• Mating disruption using pheromones• Biological fungicides• Sticky traps to monitor and reduce whiteflies and thrips• Release of natural enemies• Soil bio-solarization to reduce pathogen loadMAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE FARMER• Limit or even eliminate in the short term the use of pesticidesKEY CONCLUSIONS• The farmer understands the benefits of increasing biodiversity: pest pressure diminishes via a boost in biological control.• Released species live longer, have a higher reproduction rate and a control efficacy. Several beneficial insects arrives spontaneously.• The entire system, including the acquisition of extra plants and biocontrol agents has a cost which is the same as for control with pesticides in previous years.• The effect of biological control is far better than the effect of pesticide treatments. The biological balance avoids that aphids cause damageLIMITATIONS OF THE SYSTEM• Practices that often require a gradual increase of observation and knowledge, especially during the “transition” from conventional agriculture.Link to the complete booklet :https://ipmworks.net/toolbox/en/#/resource/63dbcbd031a5b75f4cbaf7e0

The farm is located in Jabbeke, West Flanders.AGRONOMICAL CONTEXT- Highly specialized in hydroponic cultivation of strawberries nursery and production)- Varieties: Sonsation and Elsanta- Horticulture area: 6,7 ha- Biological control, releasing natural enemies in the cropMAIN PESTS• Strawberries: Spider mites and aphids, Powdery mildew in late cropSTRATEGIES IMPLEMENTED• Releasing natural enemies against aphids• Sticky traps to monitor & reduce whiteflies and thrips• Tolerant cultivar• Reduced no. of Fungicide sprays and Using low riks PPPs against Powdery mildew if possibleMAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE GROWER- A sustainable and profitable strawberry crop with a limited use of insecticides and fungicidesKEY CONCLUSIONS• The farmer replaced almost all his insecticide sprayings by natural enemies. He experimented during the project also with natural enemies to control aphids, but the strategy is time consuming and more expensive, than a pesticide application. Moreover, it asks a lot of expertise.• Low risk plant protection products are used against Powdery mildew, but Mathias is still looking for other alternatives.• A good climate and growth is maintained to reduce the infection by Botrytis. Further no alternatives are used yet, because the offer is very limitedand the efficiency is mainly lower. LIMITATIONS OF THE SYSTEM- Practices need more time for monitoring and more knowledge.- Some strategies are not ready yet to use in practice, because they are too expensive.Link to the complete booklet :https://ipmworks.net/toolbox/en/#/resource/64074eed31a5b75f4cbaf84f B6
