Why is it needed?
Slide 14 05/02/2015
EC Directive 2009-128
A framework “Promoting the use of IPM and of alternative approaches”
Slide 15 05/02/2015
Human health • Increased affordability of
healthy food such as fruit & veg
• Less mycotoxin contamination
Environment • Reduced losses mean more
food can be produced on less land with less water and fertiliser
• More efficient production – less GHG
Unintended consequences

New directions for Agriculture in the 21st Century
Royal Society: “There is a pressing need for the ‘sustainable intensification’ of global agriculture in which yields are increased without adverse environmental impact and without the cultivation of more land”.
Royal Society (2009) Policy document 11/09
A second green revolution which is knowledge intensive rather than input intensive?
Slide 17 05/02/2015
Information sources
Grower input on their local crop protection challenges
Information delivery - solutions relevant to the location & its specific problems
Information processing + design of IPM systems
Geographic information system Include cropping history
Web portal
Which pests, weeds, diseases are a problem?
Novel combinations of tactics
New solutions as alternatives to pesticides
Industry and academic Identify best practices for pest management

Build a network of farmers and agronomists interested in pioneering the systemDesign a user interface through which farmers and agronomists can enter details (module 1)Conduct a test run of the system to determine the main problems facedDesign and build the geographic information system (module 2) Build the knowledge bank of potential solutions (module 3)Determine the best practices for managing specific pests, weeds and diseases (module 4)Automate the system so that best practise solutions can be matched with site specific problems (module 5)Test run and obtain feedback from pioneer farmers and agronomists
Optimise and refine the system
Upscale and roll out to farmers and agronomists for the whole UK with a promotional campaign
