Toward a reduced use of pesticides in European farming systems: An introduction to the PURE project

Résumé

PURE (Pesticide Use-and-risk Reduction in European farming systems with Integrated Pest Management), a large collaborative project funded by the EU, has designed and tested IPM solutions both onstation and on-farm. Ex-ante and ex-post assessment of such solutions e developed by combining tactical and strategic means of managing pests (animal pests, pathogens and weeds) e were performed for key European farming systems, spanning from annual arable to protected crops. Overall, the solutions showed good sustainability. PURE also developed models and methods to help predict pest damage or design pest management strategies. In addition, the project developed tactics to deal with pest evolution, agroecological engineering, and eventually bio- and technological products to be included into IPM toolbox in the near future. The societal dimension, the interdisciplinarity and a wide geographic coverage are key features of the project.
