Side effects of plant protection products on beneficial organisms in fruit crops and viticulture. Development and optimiziation of test methods (efficacy and side-effects) and evaluation procedures
Project
Project code: JKI-OW-02-0009
Contract period: 01.01.2008
- 31.12.2019
Purpose of research: Applied research
Investigations on effects of plant protection products and methods on the population density and dynamics of relevant beneficial arthropods in fruit crops and viticulture (e.g. predatory mites, parasitoid wasps, aphid and scale antagonists), including the development of test methods in a sequential scheme (laboratory, semi-field, field); development of methods to examine the efficacy of pheromones in the field; development of a standardized system to test insecticides to control grape berry moths using artificial inoculation with eggs; improvement of the method for testing side effects of plant protection products on predatory mites.
EU-wide recognized test methods published and further in work; description of the effects of pesticides on relevant beneficials and recommendations for the sustainable use of plant protection products.
