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.

Climate change has brought about changing conditions for agriculture. In recent years precipitation deficit during the growing season has led to a shortage of forage in Sweden. During dry years, irrigation is necessary to achieve optimal yields. In addition, irrigation can bring about positive …

Agriculture in plain-lands is often specialized in crop production, with no on-farm use of ley as animal fodder, and crop rotations that often includes only annual crops (e.g. oilseed rape, cereals and sugar beets). At the same time, integrating ley in arable cropping systems generates several …

Cannabinoids have potential to induce analgesia and muscle relaxation which would be beneficial for equine practice. Today there is no drug labelled for veterinary use containing these cannabinoids, but there are some herbal oil products which unofficially have been reported to be used in horses, …

This project aims to modify existing sensor systems for adapted nitrogen fertilization to consider water stress at
supplementary fertilization in cereals. Different approaches to consider sensor data and soil information will be tested
in field trials. Current commercial systems interpret water …

Conventional technology is virtually unable to measure complete GHG budgets of drained organic soils, which may provide misleading results. So, global estimates of GHG emissions are based on coarse assumptions that don’t take into account the complexity of agroecosystems. Better data are needed for …

Humus is an important indicator of soil quality and soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration is a cost-effective measure to reduce the climatic impact of food production systems. The national soil-monitoring program (SMP) show an upward trend in SOC during the past 20 years, mostly attributed to an …

A few years ago, media reported on a 7 year-old girl who was killed during a riding lesson. The accident evokes questions about children, horses and safety. Children are small and horses big, and the horse is a herd and prey animal whose behaviour is partly controlled by instincts. Today, many …
