Study evening for fruit growers, extension people and stakeholders in Belgium.
In this presentation of Tim Belien (pcfruit, Zoology department) the recently developed model on pear psyllids and beneficials was presented.

This results in less required sprayings and hence less residues. Furhermore also the puffer mating disruption technique was presented and explained.
