Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'To meet both the worldwide demand for food security and new environmental needs, agriculture must increase food production and quality while decreasing its ecological footprint. Ensuring sustainability and competitiveness with reduced pesticide inputs is a major challenge. PURE will provide integrated pest management (IPM) solutions and a practical toolbox for their implementation in key European farming systems (annual arable and vegetable, perennial, and protected crops) in which reduction of pesticide use and better control of pests will have major effects. PURE will exploit recent advances in emerging technologies, plant-pest-enemies interactions, soil and landscape ecology and pest evolution to feed IPM solutions with innovative diagnostic and decision support systems, physical devices and bio-products, strategies for ecological pest regulation and improved durability of control methods. For each selected farming system, PURE will combine existing methods with new tools and technologies into novel IPM solutions addressing the biological, agronomical and economical diversity in Europe. IPM solutions will range from easy to adopt combinations of tactical control methods to more ambitious solutions involving strategic changes at farm level. PURE will test the efficacy, practicability and relevance of IPM solutions under the agro-ecosystems and farming conditions of the main broad European regions by on-station and on-farm experiments and will perform a comparative assessment of their environmental, economic and social sustainability. By jointly involving researchers and the key actors of pest management (farmers, advisors, policy makers and actors of the food supply chain) in design and assessment, PURE will facilitate the adoption of these innovative IPM solutions. PURE will thereby contribute to reduce the risks to human health and the environment and the dependence on pesticides and will facilitate the implementation of the pesticides package legislation.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
EU researchers are taking steps to limit pesticide use by developing and testing integrated pest management (IPM) strategies, through both experimental and modelling approaches.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
There is considerable political and social pressure to decrease pesticide use and improve sustainability in commercial agriculture. IPM is a sustainable alternative that strives to grow crops with minimum input of pesticides, using a holistic approach for pest control.
The EU-funded http://www.pure-ipm.eu/ (PURE) (Pesticide use-and-risk reduction in European farming systems with integrated pest management) project aimed to develop IPM solutions and integrate them into European farming practices. The project involved researchers, companies, farmers and advisors.
PURE's overall goal was to develop strategies for pest control by incorporating new technologies and techniques into IPM solutions. These solutions were designed, tested and assessed in the field. To this end, assessment tools addressing the economic, environmental and social facets of sustainability were developed or adapted. Tests in the field showed that an IPM approach can result in lower yields, but the environmental benefits are high.
PURE also developed model-based or experimentally-based novel strategies to counteract the emergence of virulent pest strains, innovative diagnostic tools and decision support systems, and other IPM tools including physical control devices, bio-products, soil management and habitat amendment strategies. In addition it provided several modelling tools to help identify IPM solutions in the near future.
Pesticide use has steadily increased over the last few decades. It is vital to develop new tools to reverse this trend while still catering to global food demand. PURE is taking practical steps toward this goal by developing systems and tools for decreased pesticide use without limiting farm productivity.
