Abstract

OPTIMA is an H2020 research project that develops an environmentally friendly Integrated Pest Management (IPM) framework for vineyards, apple orchards and carrots by providing a holistic integrated approach which includes all critical aspects related to integrated disease management, such as i) use of novel biological Plant Protection Products, ii) disease prediction models, iii) spectral early disease detection systems and iv) precision spraying techniques. It will contribute significantly to the reduction of the European agriculture reliance on chemical Plant Protection Products resulting in reduced use of agrochemicals, lower residues and reduced impacts on human health.
