Biological control of aphids in orchards to produce "greener" fruits

Objective

The project aims at reducing the use of pesticides in European orchards. The proposal ultimate goal is to market an efficient strategy of biological control of aphids attacking fruit trees. To reach this goal, a co-operative research proposal is developed into five steps.
1.Studying the population dynamics of the most damaging aphids of fruit trees on a European scale.
2.Developing a forecasting model to predict the risk of aphidoutbreak.
3.Improving the rearing method of ladybird beetle larvae.
4.Determining procedures for an efficient biological control of aphids in orchards.
5.Training the farmers and their advisers at using biological control.
