Integrated Pest Management (IPM) - Focus on Brassica species
As the EIP-AGRI Network has become part of the EU CAP Network, this website will no longer be updated after 1 April 2023. It will remain available in a static form as a reference of all previous EIP-AGRI activities. All interactive features such as the login, the main search function of the website, and the advanced filtering of the databases (e.g. project database and collaborative areas) will no longer be available. You will find all the new and up-to-date information on the EU CAP Network website.

Get all the information at a glance in the IPM for Brassica factsheet.
Tasks:
-
Identifying (types of) pests and diseases relevant for Brassica for different EU regions.
-
Comparing methods between different specialty crops and, particularly, between specialty crops and rapeseed.
-
Analysing existing IPM methods from the cost-effectiveness point of view.
-
Listing ongoing IPM experiments for Brassica.
-
Collecting existing IPM practices (including soil-borne) for Brassica and indicate where improvement is needed.
-
Preparing a gap analysis indicating where new solutions need to be found;
-
Producing priorities for further research actions.
-
Suggesting potential practical operational group projects to test new IPM methods for Brassica and potential projects for practical operational groups and other project formats to test new IPM methods for Brassica.
