The team have been out collecting wheat samples around the east region this week for Defra Survey of Crop Pests and Diseases. One farmer parked his tractor in an usual place!! 🚜👍😀

The final day of WOSR assessing for the Defra Survey of Crop Pests and Diseases is happening at RM today 🥳 Our team have also been out and about collecting WW samples for the survey to send to @ADASmowthorpe for assessment 🌾 ADAS Defra UK

Our entomologist Duncan on stage at Ento23 with Royal Entomological Society to explain Defra Survey of Crop Pests and Diseases - pestanddiseasesurvey.co.uk. New interactive platform allowing users to explore 50 years of pest, disease, agronomic, & #pesticide input data coming soon! 💻🦟🌾

Updates on the survey were shared at the AAB @aabiologists.bsky.social IPM conference this week - follow us here to keep up to date when the visualizations platform is launched!

Data in the survey can be used to monitor and observe the geographic spread of pest and pathogen species over time, we're looking forward to seeing the analysis that can be done to get the most out of this dataset

In the autumn we carry out in-field aphid and natural enemies assessments on wheat and OSR, and collect OSR plant samples for disease and CSFB assessments ADAS Rosemaund

Our team ADAS Rosemaund are busy carrying out OSR disease and cabbage stem flea beetle assessments! We use a passive method for CSFB where the plants dry out over buckets of water so the larvae exit, drop into the water and can be counted in a few weeks time 🌱🐛

Great results!🌱

It was great to be part of the IPM Net meeting last week! Lots of great discussions across a range of IPM goals and challenges - see the event write up for more info farmpep.net/resource/ipm-n…

Managed to go sampling on a lovely sunny day this week for the Defra Survey of Crop Pests and Diseases - these samples were sent to ADAS Rosemaund for CSFB and disease assessments ☀️🌱🐛

We'll be looking for pollen beetles in our upcoming Spring OSR pest assessment. Their activity begins at ~12oC and can migrate into the crop at ~15oC. Crops are at risk between green-yellow bud (BBCH51-59). Photo from our ADAS Wales team ☀️🪲

Had an amazing time British Society for Plant Pathology conference last week, thank you for the opportunity to present Defra Survey of Crop Pests and Diseases in the AAB @aabiologists.bsky.social Surveillance themed session 🌱 >50y of WW data and >40y WOSR data now freely available online pestanddiseasesurvey.co.uk/platform
