Just wondering who else on here works in research and could maybe tell me what people are saying in comments are on this article? In essence, the UK government agency that gives out grants to tech (clean tech, medicine etc) SMEs to do research hasn't been doing much for six months. The techbro in charge has decided AI means that written applications are now obsolete. However, he fails to suggest an alternative. #research #deeptech #ukri #innovateuk

Here's a Thursday afternoon work thought. How about CORDIS search could also see into Horizon Europe member countries' national grant funding databases? #CORDIS #HorizonEU #eic #innovateuk

Excited about our new #InnovateUK project, FLYTHRIVE, with Olombria, NRI, Asplins and Summerberry Company. Hoverflies are amazing: dual-purpose beneficial insects! They are good little #pollinators, and many species also help control aphids! The larvae of the aphid-eating #hoverflies are voracious little predators that will eat up to a few dozen aphids per day.

As UK #fruit growers are seeing more and more #pesticide products withdrawn from approval, they are getting much more interested in biological control methods to manage pests - such as predatory insects.

So the FLYTHRIVE project is all about developing a hoverfly-based system (supported by machine vision and odour lures) to give safe and efficient aphid control on soft fruit.

FLYTHRIVE uses AI to drive natural defences and deliver value to growers - Hort News

New research aims to tackle rising insect pest infestations in common berry crops using advanced AI, natural lures and selected species of aphid-feeding hoverflies to continuously monitor the crop and trigger earlier intervention. UK berry growers are threatened by increasing pest infestations which drive down yields and increase costs; aphids can reduce berry crop yields […]
