Hi everyone,
ADAS are working with the NFU and SRUC to guide the development of a new Sustainable Farming Incentive Standard for Integrated Pest Management (IPM). This Defra-funded project will help farmers, growers and advisers to combine cultural, biological, physical and chemical tools to manage pests, weeds, and diseases in an environmentally sensitive way.

We are developing an online decision support tool and practical guidance to assist growers in producing IPM plans specific to their cropping system. To do this, we need as many arable, grass, and horticultural growers as possible to get involved now in the development so that when the SFI standard does come out in 2023, it is relevant and useful for all growers.

Participants will be reimbursed for their time on the project. If you'd like to get involved, register your interest in taking part at https://adas.co.uk/news/farmers-gro...ing-incentive-for-integrated-pest-management/. Thanks! :)

Just to confirm what's involved for this project - Participants will be asked to complete an online Integrated Pest Management Decision Making Tool, designed by ADAS, for their cropping types and give feedback. They may get asked to take part in a follow on interview.

Participants will receive up to £200 for their time completing the tool and a further £100 if selected for interview.
