It has been a great weekend talking about our projects in precision spray applications @Optima_IPM and #gophytovid @PT_vino at the #SIMA2022 conference in Paris

⚙💧A quick look on the performances of the three prototype #smart #sprayers that were developed within #Optima_IPM project ℹ Find more info on our Project's results on the webportal #library and in the various videos uploaded on our #YouTube channel! 🔗optima-h2020.eu

✅ All 32 #Optima_IPM Practice Abstracts have also been uploaded and are now available at the OPTIMA page of the #EIP_AGRI webportal! 🔗 ec.europa.eu/eip/agricultur… @EIPAGRI_SP #H2020 #agriculture #IPM #PAs #innovation #smartfarming #smartspraying #precisionag

🎉 Τhe #Optima_IPM final #Review meeting was successfully completed yesterday. This is the end of a great journey, carried out by an excellent #Consortium 💡 #Research as it ought to be!

#DYK there are four categories of biopesticides? 🧪semiochemicals 🌺natural substances 🐞macrobials 🦠microbials #Biopesticides play an increasingly important role in helping farmers to fight against pests and diseases 🧑‍🌾🌾. Find out more ➡️ croplifeeurope.eu/our-priorities…

✅ Within #WP6 a multi-criteria #assessment addressing human #health & #environmental ⚠risks ☑impacts &💰costs was carried out 📋 The choice of indicators as well as the definition of their importance derived from literature and consultation of stakeholders #H2020 #LCA #HERA

✅ Within #WP5 all the components of the #Optima_IPM system were #evaluated separately and as a whole in 3 selected #pilot areas in 🇫🇷France (🥕), 🇪🇸Spain (🍎) and 🇮🇹Italy (🍇). 🎞 Relevant #videos are available on the OPTIMA #YouTube channel! 🔗 youtube.com/channel/UCHNnj…

When @EU_Commission presented its #Pesticides proposal 2 months ago, Integrated Pest Management was the talk of the town. But for our industry, #IPM has always been a hot topic🔥. IPM strategies help farmers to mitigate the impact of pests & disease ⬇️ croplifeeurope.eu/news/what-is-i…

✅ Within #WP4 three #smart #sprayers have been developed, the @Pulv_Fede "Smartomizer H3O" sprayer for🍎#apple orchards, the #CAFFINI smart 🍇#vineyard sprayer & the #CAFFINI smart 🥕#carrot boom sprayer 🏅 All three sprayers have received various awards in renowned exhibitions

✅ Within #WP3 novel sustainable IPM strategies were developed for 🍎apple scab 🍇vineyard downy mildew and 🥕alternaria leaf blight in carrots, after evaluating the efficacy of novel #PPPs. Produced #BMPs are easily available at the #Optima_IPM webportal #library

For #agriculture 👨‍🌾 to be sustainable it must be efficient, productive & contribute to a resilient natural #environment. Quick access to #innovation & #technology is key 💡 so farmers can help agriculture transition towards even more sustainable food systems. 🍏🌽🍅
