📝Let's break down the term IPM! 'Integrated pest management' (IPM) emphasises healthy crop growth with the least possible disruption to agroecosystems and encourages natural pest control mechanisms. 🧬The role of IPM in integrated breeding: 🔎Visit: ipmorama.eu/

🫛Grain legumes are crucial for Europe’s plant-based protein, but face threats like Diaporthe/Phomopsis in soybean, anthracnose in white lupin, and blights, rusts, and Orobanche crenata in peas. Innovative, low-chemical strategies are needed for resilient, sustainable production.
