Rovensa Next 𝐚𝐭 𝐒𝐀𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐈𝐀'𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐮𝐦 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐛𝐨𝐧! Our team has joined forces with SAGROPIA to focus on the crucial role of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in tackling potato blight and enhancing the sustainability of potato production. 🥔🌱 Our discussions have centered around combining biological, cultural, and strategic methods to reduce pesticide use while maintaining high yields and farm resilience. Through innovative solutions, IPM helps us manage pests in ways that are both effective and environmentally responsible, reducing our reliance on traditional chemicals. 🌍 Key highlights from today include: 🦠 Developing biological control agents to naturally combat pests 🌾 Strengthening cultural practices like crop rotation to prevent disease spread 🌍 Enhancing precision agriculture tools to monitor and apply pesticides more efficiently, reducing environmental impact The SAGROPIA team is committed to transforming pest management into a more holistic approach for sustainable farming practices. Let's continue to innovate and lead the way towards a greener future!

🌿 Day 1 of the #SAGROPIA Consortium meeting kicked off in Lisbon, diving into exciting developments in sustainable pest management! 🌿 🤝 We explored the effectiveness of biopesticides in controlling key pests like aphids, wireworms, and nematodes across different crops, including potatoes and sugar beets. Key highlights and topics discussed during the day: 🔴 Biopesticide Trials: Promising results for alternatives to chemical treatments, with some biological agents showing strong efficacy, but more field testing needed. 🥔 Innovative Inoculation Techniques: From liquid inoculations to plate-based spore collection, researchers are refining methods for more effective disease control. 😷 Resistance Concerns: Ongoing research to combat evolving pest resistance, using genetic tools like CRISPR to enhance crop resilience. Exciting progress in eco-friendly solutions that could change the future of agriculture!   #SustainableAgriculture #Biopesticides #InnovativeResearch #SAGROPIA RTDS Group Certis Biologicals Rovensa Next Südzucker AIT Austrian Institute of Technology Wageningen University & Research DTU - Technical University of Denmark Amoéba Verband bayerischer Zuckerrübenanbauer e.V.

📢All set up and ready and ready to go here in Graz! 🤗 Welcome to #ESIB24

🚂 We're heading to beautiful Graz for the European Summit of Industrial Biotechnology (#ESIB) and three days of discussion on sustainable bioproduction, AI in biotech, and plenty more. 🤝 Come and visit our stand in the #EU corner – and keep an eye out for our #flash presentation tomorrow morning!

🌍 A Quarter Million Voices for Pesticide Reduction! Yesterday, a petition signed by over 260,000 Europeans was presented to the European Commission, urging them to prioritize pesticide reduction. This powerful call to action, led by Ekō, WeMove, and PAN Europe, highlights the public’s demand for sustainable agricultural practices and the protection of public health and the environment. 🔹 Key Demands: - Reintroduce pesticide reduction in EU policy. - Revive ambitious goals for sustainable food production systems. - Protect public health and the environment. Natalija Svrtan from PAN Europe emphasizes: “The support reflects public demand for decisive action to halt the use of harmful pesticides and promote sustainable agricultural practices.” 🔗 Check out the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gwGwkcsz Join us in advocating for a healthier, more sustainable future. 🌱 #SustainableAgriculture #PesticideReduction #GreenFuture #EU #SAGROPIA
