Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: plant protection, asparagus fly, organic farming
The asparagus fly (Plioreocepta poeciloptera) is an important insect pest in asparagus crop production. In this project new approaches and strategies for the sustainable control of the asparagus fly in integrated and ecological crop production shall be developed. The project focuses on amending missing knowledge of the biology and ecology of the aspargus fly, evaluating alternative control measures and revising the preliminary economic thresholds and economic injury. Based on the results a sustainable control concept should be developed and transfered to advisers and integrated and ecological producing asparagus growers.
