AphidInnov -Biological solutions for controlling aphid populations in protected crops
Résumé
Inundative biological control with natural enemies produced by specialist suppliers is the main alternative to insecticides in protected crops. However, major pests such as aphids are still poorly controlled, due to a lack of efficiency or availability of biological control agents that would give solutions for the disappearance of neonicotinoids. The AphidInnov project has shown, on seed cabbage, strawberry and cucumber crops, that effective parasitoid species and populations adapted to each agricultural context could be selected, taking into account the ecological specialisation of parasitoids and their genetic variation, and that effective solutions could be proposed by combining parasitoids, predators and cultural practices. The production of these biological control agents could create new business models, involving more directly professional organizations and growers.
