En la agricultura 🌱, la biodiversidad es esencial para mantener un ecosistema sano y productivo. Sin ella, no podríamos disfrutar de alimentos nutritivos y de calidad.💚

#InvasiveAlienSpecies , such as 🐁, are a leading cause of extinction on island ecosystems.

Megan Serr, Genetic Biocontrol of Invasive Rodents (GBIRd) highlights the potential of #genedrive technologies to address this challenge.

🌱🐞Happy International #Biodiversity Day ! This year’s theme is 'Be Part of the Plan.' As farmers urge policymakers to speed up access to #Biocontrol , we’re asking: Can Europe’s #Biodiversity , farmers and #FoodSecurity wait another decade?

Putting UEA on the map (literally!)
It was great speaking at this year's GRC Biocontrol conference - thanks to Omar Akbari and Yoosook Lee for the invitation to talk about my work with Alphey Lab

Caught a plane ride to the latest chatter on animal genetic biocontrol. What a future world to come. So long Barcelona.

The tiny weevil protecting UK rivers!

The Azolla Control project is releasing the biocontrol to stop the aquatic fern's invasion.

Azolla forms dense mats that block light and cut oxygen, harming fish and flora.

I don't usually promote any products, but a grower showed me how usefully this hand scope has helped him monitor pests in his tomatoes and time properly biocontrol agent releases. It is not the best in video and pictures, but it is useful enough for monitoring purposes

Synvect's CEO, Nikolay Kandul, ran into some of our research partners at the Genetic Biocontrol GRC! Hervé Bossin and his team are working with Synvect on assessing our tech's impact on mosquito populations in French Polynesia. Email [email protected] to learn more.

🌺Himalayan balsam, a rapidly spreading invasive weed in the UK, outcompetes native plants and diminishes biodiversity.

However, biocontrol offers a sustainable solution to mitigate the plant's dominance.

I would have gotten a MUCH better manicure had I known I was going to find a little Phragmites biocontrol caterpillar today at my field site

It’s been an awesome GRC Genetic Biocontrol meeting so far in Barcelona. Tomorrow’s our last day and it will be hard to say goodbye to friends. My feet will remember 20 miles of walking 🤣🤣 but the city, architecture and beach have been amazing.

🌱Join the webinar organized by the Biocontrol Coalition, featuring Rovensa Next as a leading member, with the participation of Laurent Gouzou, our Head of Global Regulatory Affairs!

These are some aphid (black fly) infested leaves in our cherry crop. Two weeks ago we introduced a predator known as aphid midge, whose slug-like green larvae (in picture) paralyze the aphids and feed on them by sucking out their body contents. Biocontrol in action.

Jennifer Lewis (IBMA) vertelt over groei gebruik biocontrol wereldwijd en in EU. Toelatingsprocedure neemt in EU veruit meeste tijd in beslag. Verbetering is nodig, waarvoor IBMA suggesties doet. “From stone-age agricultural to drone-age agricultural!” Artemis - Natuurlijk Biologisch
