Summary
In this practice abstract, you learn about the benefits of the IPM strategy, such as improved pest control performance and reduced pesticide use and yield losses. Associated costs are offset by lower crop damage and input requirements. Practical recommendations are also presented.
| EPrint Type: | Practice tool |
|---|---|
| Teaser: | Benefits and practical recommendations for the IPM strategy . |
| What problem does the tool address?: | Tuta absoluta causes severe yield losses; resistance to Spinosad in organic systems has been reported, and overuse can harm beneficial insects and undermine Integrated Pest Management (IPM). |
| What solution does the tool offer?: | An IPM strategy combining mirid predators, parasitoids, alternative food sources and complementary biocontrol tools (e.g. biopesticides, pheromones) was developed in Mediterranean organic greenhouses. |
