02/ The brief
What the notice says
Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.
In order to encourage farmers and growers away from prophylactically spraying pesticides to their
crops, we need to be able to inform them of the alternative strategies and more importantly how to
implement them effectively. IPM covers a broad range of strategies from using forecasting to
predict incidence and timing of a pest to targeted spraying of pesticides only where and when
needed to growing disease resistant varieties. When discussing barriers to IPM with farmers, they
often quote lack of knowledge as a key issue. Disseminating knowledge about best practice with
IPM strategies is therefore key to increasing uptake. We plan to commission a set of instructional
videos covering both the theory and practice of IPM to upskill farmers in an accessible bitesize way.
Increasing uptake of IPM across farmers will hopefully lead to a reduced reliance on synthetic
chemicals and a knock-on reduction in the speed at which pesticide resistance develops in crop
pests and diseases.
