Study day pome fruit, presentation on improved integrated pear psyllid control with aid of model

20/01/2017, Hasselt, Belgium
Study day 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. It was presented how the model can be used to optimize the timing of treatments against pear psylla, taking into account beneficial arthropods. This results in less required sprayings and hence less residues.
