The project will develop sustainable pheromone-based methods to reduce the damage from three moth species on currants, thereby enabling profitable cultivation irrespective of management practice. During several years, the currant cultivation has decreased in Sweden and also the yield per ha has gone down here and in Finland. An important reason for this is insect damages, which are difficult to manage with existing and allowed measures. Up to 90% yield reduction has been recorded. We will use the odour signals (sex pheromones) to disrupt the mating behaviour, so that the number of ovipositing females and resulting damages are reduced to acceptable levels. The moths’ pheromones are known and the project group has previous experience from research on two of the species and from developing mating disruption for control of other insects. By connections to other projects, financed by EU and SSF, the possibilities are better today to produce the pheromone components at reasonable prices.
Projektet ska utveckla hållbara feromonbaserade metoder som minskar skadorna av tre fjärilsarter i vinbär och därmed möjliggöra lönsam odling oavsett brukningsmetoder. Under flera år har odlingen av vinbär minskat i norra Sverige och även skörden per hektar har gått ner här, liksom i Finland. En viktig orsak till detta är just insektsskador, som är svåra att begränsa med existerande tillåtna medel. Upp till 90% skördebortfall har noterats. Vi ska använda arternas egna doftsignaler (sexualferomoner) för att störa parningen så att antalet äggläggande honor och följande skador minskas till acceptabla nivåer. Fjärilarnas feromoner är kända och projektgruppen har tidigare erfarenhet av forskning om två av arterna och av att utveckla parningsstörning som fungerar för bekämpning av andra insekter. Genom kopplingar till andra projekt, finansierade av EU och SSF, finns idag bättre möjligheter än tidigare att producera de nödvändiga doftsubstanserna till rimliga priser.

Achieving and maintaining a good stable climate with low ammonia levels is a major challenge for many poultry farmers. In addition to adversely affecting animal health, production and the working environment, high levels of ammonia in the stable can also lead to increased environmental impact. The …

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 …
