 The ENDURE Network of Excellence shares the fruits of four years’ research with the crop protection community

Mark your calendars for the international conference, organised by INRA:
‘Integrated Pest Management in Europe’
November 24 and 25, 2010 at the Eurosites George V centre in Paris, France

EU Member States are working on the implementation of the Framework Directive on the sustainable use of pesticides to make Integrated Pest Management (IPM) become a field reality by 2014. Major efforts in research and development are called for to accompany this initiative and help mainstream IPM. We can take advantage of the diversity of experiences, tools, and strategies across Europe and build synergies to make crop protection more compatible with our new environmental goals while maintaining our competitiveness. That’s what the European Network of Excellence ENDURE has been working on since 2007. ENDURE researchers have been busy generating new knowledge, new strategies and new tools on:
  • The individual components of IPM
  • Holistic approaches encompassing multiple pests and larger time and space scales
  • Innovative strategies designed and assessed according to the multiple criteria of sustainable development
  • Information tailored to the needs of farmers and advisers
  • Learning resources for training and education in IPM
  • The current state of IPM in major crops
  • Socio-technical levers of IPM implementation
  • National experiences on pesticide use or risk reduction and IPM implementation
  • Stakeholder points of view on the future of crop protection
Now is the time for ENDURE to share the fruits of four years of this research with the crop protection
community.
