"In der Saarländischen Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek gibt es aktuell keine flächendeckenden Klebefallen. Wie eine Sprecherin dem SR mitteilte, achtete man dort >>im Arbeitsalltag aufmerksam auf mögliche Auffälligkeiten<<. Sollten Schädlinge festgestellt werden, würde man entsprechende Schritte einleiten, heißt es.", lese ich in einem Artikel auf sr.de vom September 2025. Also ich bin mir sehr sicher, dass Bibliotheken OHNE Klebefallen eine Menge entgeht. 🤭 #ipm #bestandserhaltung

Nicht nur draußen herrschen derzeit eisige Temperaturen!!❄️
Auch im Freezer vor unserem Depot in Burgweinting hatte es Minusgrade. Dabei handelt es sich um einen 40-Fuß Container von iconyk® in dem unsere Grafiksammlung und Objekte aus dem Bischöflichen Zentralarchivs bei -30°C präventiv gegen Schädlinge behandelt wurden, bevor sie anschließend in das Depot kamen. 📖

Andrew Gladman (ADAS) talks about alyssum companion planting for control of thrips - both drawing the thrips away from the crop and also boosting populations of biocontrols like Orius. Exciting potential, should be interesting to see the system getting optimised.

Other parts of Europe have a predatory thrips licensed for biocontrol releases to control herbivorous thrips on strawberry - not yet in UK but maybe in future...? #AAB_IPPM #Thrips #CompanionPlanting #IPM

Allah Bakhsh showed us some results of dsRNA bioassays on colorado beetle - exciting prospects for control. It has high potential to be a safe and effective technique to manage pests, but I don't know how consumers will respond?

Then Rosemary Collier discussed IPM in fresh produce, and what needs doing as more plant protection products disappear from growers' toolkit. We will need to look at more resistant varieties of crops, and the role of biodiversity in natural pest regulation.

Entomovectoring with Mojgan Rabiey at Warwick - bumblebees can carry bacteriophages to cherry flowers, allowing control of cherry canker on flowers (and thus fruit) - bees can find the flowers better than we can to distribute the phages.

I've never heard of it with phages before but seems an exciting and promising (and environmentally safer) route to part of canker management. Also means bees don't spread the pathogen as the phage "disinfects" them.

#AAB_IPPM meeting kicking off with excellent talk from Martin Lines
from the Nature-Friendly Farming Network. He has found that introducing flower-rich margins on his farm as habitat for beneficial biodiversity reduces pest damage significantly and much reduces need for synthetic inputs.

Putting strips of wildflowers (possibly buffered by tussocky grass) actually through crop fields increases their mobility into the crop, delivering more even management.

Need for more accessible tools for farmers to tailor habitat interventions to crop and key pests (current/future) #NaturalEnemies #IPM #HabitatManagement #NatureFriendlyFarming

On my way to AAB Advances in Integrated Pest and Pathogen Management meeting - looking forward to a couple of days hearing about what's happening in applied IPPM research. https://www.aab.org.uk/event/advances-in-integrated-pest-and-pathogen-management/

I'll be talking about aphids on soft fruit, and how to optimise different aspects of biocontrol to improve the approach overall.

L’impegno per la pace diventa calendario

Non c’è solo la scuola che educa al patriottismo e alla guerra, c’è anche la scuola che educa alla pace. E non soltanto con belle parole. Lo ha fatto, a Catania, il progetto di Pax Christi che ha coinvolto gli studenti di quattro scuole nella preparazione del calendario 2026, dedicato ai “Testimoni di pace”.

Quest’anno, infatti, il calendario promozionale che ogni anno Pax Christi […]

🇪🇺 The EU’s Agri &amp; Food Vision proposes easier access to biocontrol as an alternative to harmful #pesticides. However, real change means more than swapping chemicals. Biocontrol must be part of a system shift via #IPM. 🌱🪲
