Neonikotinoida insekticiders användning i jordbruket diskuteras på europeisk nivå på grund av deras toxiska bieffekt på nyttodjur. Alternativ behöver utvecklas för att ge effektiv och hållbar kontroll av ekonomiska viktiga skadedjur som bladlöss. I detta projekt kommer ett IPM-verktyg utvecklas för att förbättra biologisk bekämpning av bladlöss i svenska fruktodlingar. Vi kommer identifiera ämnen som utsöndras av äpple- och körsbärsträd vid en bladlus attack och inkorporerar dessa i en biologiskt nedbrytbar pasta i syfte att locka nyttodjur (predator-Locka). Vi kommer också att formulera en annan nedbrytbar pasta som innehåller socker och proteiner för att distrahera myror från bladlössen i träden (myr-Stop). De två optimerade nedbrytbara formuleringarna appliceras samtidigt (Stop & Locka) på träd med målet att maximera biologisk bekämpning av bladlöss. Kunskapen som erhållits genom denna studie kommer att bilda en bas för att öka effekten av biologisk bekämpning i ytterligare grödor.
The use in horticulture of neonicotinoid insecticides is under debate at the European level due to their toxic side effects on natural enemies and pollinators. Alternatives need to be developed to provide efficient and sustainable control of economic important pest such as aphids. In this project we will set-up an IPM tool to enhance the biological control of aphids in fruit crops in Sweden. We will identify herbivory induced plant volatiles released upon aphid attack by apple and cherry and incorporate them in a biodegradable paste to pull beneficials to fruit trees (Predator-Pull). We will also formulate sugars and proteins within another biodegradable paste to divert ants from attending aphids on trees (Ant-Stop). The two optimized biodegradable pastes will be applied simultaneously (Stop&Pull) on trees with the aim to maximize aphid biocontrol. The knowledge acquired through this study will form a base to increase the efficacy of biological control in a number of additional crops.

The carbon footprint for ruminants is high compared to other food products of animal origin but grazing animals such
as beef and lamb have other positive effects on the environment such as increased biodiversity and carbon
sequestration. Beef- and lamb producers need clear guidelines on how to …
