The rollback of insecticides exposes Swedish horticulture to a multitude of pests. Targeted and sustainable innovations are sorely needed. Here we target several pests of fruits, onion, cabbage, beans and salad and aim to develop 1) species-selective lures using a novel olfactomics platform, 2) use these lures in monitoring in conjunction with an automated early detection system using smart sensor technology, and 3) test these lures in sustainable intervention of these pest. The multispecies, comparative approach is key in the proposal. Proof-of-concept exists for each component: the olfactomics platform (lures for fruit flies), automated detection platform (two prototypes), intervention methods (confusion, disruption, attract & kill). With FORMAS supporting the olfactomics platform, SLF would provide the means for field testing combinations of novel lures, sensors, for early detection and intervention, and provide application horizons well beyond the species and crops mentioned.
Tillbakadragandet av insekticider gör svensk hortikultur känslig för många olika skadeinsekter. För att komma tillrätta med dessa behövs riktade och hållbara innovationer. Här inriktar vi oss på att utveckla lösningar mot skadeinsekter på frukt, lök, kål, bönor och sallad genom 1) selektiva lockbeten utvecklade genom en ny olfaktomik plattform, 2) ett automatiserade system för tidig detektion baserat på smarta sensorer, och 3) hållbar intervention, där vår jämförande metodik över flera arter är nyckeln. Bevis för koncepten finns redan för varje komponent: olfaktomik plattformen (lockbeten för fruktflugor), plattform för automatisk detection (två prototyper), interventionsmetoder (förvirring, störning, “attract & kill”). SLF skulle ta tillvara på stödet från FORMAS (olfaktomik plattform), till applikation genom att tillåta fältförsök av nya lockbeten, sensorer, och tidig detektion samt intervention. Denna ansökan har en horisont bortom de skadeinsekter och grödor som är nämnda här.

Emotional instability, impulsivity, ongoing self-harm, frequent suicidal crises, interpersonal problems, substance use disorder, cognitive distortions, and severe internal pain are seen in patients with emotionally unstable personality traits. This is a patient group that requires lot of resources …

Effective communication between driver and horse via rein signals is essential for safety and horse welfare. Good driveability should at best reflect the absence of unnecessary harsh equipment. Yet, many trotters suffer from mouth lesions but associations with equipment, rein tension and motion …

Human athletes that perform strenuous exercise in cold climates have a high prevalence of chronic airway inflammation and airway hyper-reactivity. Cold weather exercise can also cause inflammation in equine airways. The Swedish Animal Welfare Act and the equine sport industry have regulations for …

Racing unshod improves the speed, but not all horses have sufficient hoof quality to run barefoot repeatedly without risking health problems. If measures of the ability to race barefoot based on routinely recorded data can be used as a genetic selection tool, it will improve animal health and …

The work in horse stables is commonly characterised by heavy and monotonous work, a low degree of
mechanisation and often outdated and worn facilities, and studies have shown a high prevalence of musculoskeletal
complaints for employees at riding schools. The objective of this study is to evaluate …

The amount and nutritive content of forages has major impact on equine behaviour, health, and disease. In the Nordic countries, forages for horses consist almost exclusively of grasses, and to a limited extent of legumes. Legumes contain more crude protein than grasses, hence locally produced …

The project aims to study the long-term effect of structure liming, and to test if minimum tillage can prolong the duration of this effect. The hypothesis is that structure liming effects diminish over time, but by minimizing soil tillage we can prolong this effect. Studies will be performed in six …

Soil organic carbon is an important factor for soil health and productivity. Soil carbon sequestration (SCS) also plays a crucial role in meeting the climate goals. For that purpose, catch- and cover crops are identified as a cost-effective management practice that combines SCS with other ecosystem …

SLU has developed an innovative technology that converts human urine to high-quality solid fertiliser. On Gotland, SLU and Gotlands Bryggeri have also shown that urine can effectively fertilise barley, which can be processed further to make beer. Over the next few years, SLU and the Bryggeri need …

The risk of soil compaction is high in Sweden, as soils are often wet during field operations and because heavy machinery is used. The predicted increase in precipitation and increase of extreme weather events with heavy rainfall will potentially increase this risk, indicating a need for a reliable …
