Farmers need pest alerts they can trust. Pest modelling tools are more effective when they’re matched with local farming knowledge. That’s why a recent training focused on validating advisory messages before the rainy season. 🔗ow.ly/Faeo50VQ8kF

It's #InvasiveSpeciesWeek and this week we've visited rust fungus release sites in Hertfordshire! We're using the rust to control invasive Himalayan balsam, and found it had survived the winter and started infected new seedlings😃 Working with @hmwtbadger and the @envagency

Pollinators, soil microbes and living organisms all contribute to healthy, productive farms. But many of these are vulnerable to chemical pesticides. Biocontrol uses natural organisms to target pests, protecting crops while preserving local biodiversity.

Good pest control begins before a pest invades. In Bangladesh, authorities are keeping the coconut hispine beetle out by scanning for early warnings, monitoring risk and informing farmers. These steps are protecting crops before damage is done.➡️ow.ly/XBqU50W43q1
