310: Integrated pest management (IPM) in UK cropping systems
Written by Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board
Integrated pest management (IPM) is moving up the farming and political agendas. At the AHDB Agronomists’ Conference 2021, Neil Paveley (ADAS) and Phil Jarvis (Voluntary Initiative chairperson and farmer) took part in an evidence-based discussion.

Learn how a combination of economic incentives and improved knowledge will help farmers strike a balance between the production of food and the stewardship of land.
