➡ 'Climate change caused Europe to become home to new insect species which pose risks to human health. REACT focuses on two of those species: Bactrocera zonata, the peach fruit fly, and Bactrocera dorsalis, the oriental fruit fly. The goal of REACT is to find novel and, above all, pesticide-free methods to control the dispersion of both pests.' ⬅ In order to find out more about the project, we invite you to watch our video 'REACT: strategies for an eco-friendly fight against invasive insect pests.', which is an in-depth introduction to the project and its activities.

ChrysoLiv-L (Lacewing larvae) arrive battle ready to fight pests in your greenhouse. With a natural inclination towards cannibalism, quick release is crucial to direct their predatory instincts towards pest control, rather than each other. Delayed release or storage increases cannibalism significantly. Tips for best results: Immediate release: Get them onto your plants as soon as they reach your farm. Quick Transport: Ensure they are shipped from a local source to minimize transit stress. Opt for young larvae: Buy them at the first instar stage. They're least likely to engage in cannibalism and stay longer as larvae on the plants, maximizing their time as predators.

🌱🌍 Fascinating Read Alert! 🌍🌱 ... Did you know the soil beneath our feet is teeming with a hidden hero crucial for our environment? ... “To be a successful farmer one must first know the nature of the soil.” (Xenophon, 430 – 354 BC) Even today in the age of hydroponics, most of our food, over 98 percent by some estimates, is grown from field on a soil medium. Beyond growing our food, the way we treat our soil determines the nature of our environment and the climate. There is a great and still relatively undeveloped agronomic and environmental opportunity that could make an important global difference. This opportunity is hidden underneath our feet, in the living soil. The soil is home to the most populous community on the planet. Around the seven continents, the living soil is the Earth’s most valuable bio-system, providing ecosystem services worth trillions of dollars. The most limiting resource for the global food system is drought, with over 75 percent of the crop insurance outlay related to these events. .....

Of course, nobody wants navel orangeworm damage like in 2023 in almonds. One critical factor is continued tracking of NOW activities & hullsplit progression and acting accordingly for insecticide timing, timely harvest, taking harvest samples, and carefully assessing insect damage, including by the invasive Carpophilus beetles and more.

In the ever-evolving battle against biotic and abiotic stresses, Farmers have a tough time protecting their crops from pests, diseases, and environmental stresses to get good yields. Common pest control methods often don't work, leaving crops vulnerable to insects, diseases, and harsh conditions. But what if there was a way to give crops their own natural, internal defense against these threats?

What are the additional benefits of Enhanced Rock Weathering? 🤔 Beyond carbon sequestration and the positive impact on the climate, ERW has many positive benefits, particularly for agriculture and the land. The spreading of silicate rocks in soil can: 🌾 Increase crop yield and enhance agricultural productivity 🌱 Amend degraded soils 🌾 Build plant resistance against pests and diseases 🌱 Improve crop water retention, potentially increasing crop resilience to drought 🌾 Reduces the need for fertilizers Learn more about the benefits of ERW: https://hubs.ly/Q02dD_CP0 #EWR #CORCs #CarbonRemoval #CDR #NetZero #ClimateAction
