Text 1. Competence area within integrated plant protection
Interdisciplinary strategy
Food production is facing a number of challenges arising from global changes to the environment and society. The development of sustainable farming systems is necessary to meet these challenges.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an ecosystem-based, interdisciplinary strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of plant diseases and pests or their damage through a combination of measures such as biological control, chemical control, and cultural practices. Pest control methods are selected and applied in such a way so as to minimize risks to human health, beneficial and non-target organisms, and the environment. IPM is highly desirable due to its environmental and economic benefits, and a recent EU directive (2009/128/EC) mandates that IPM shall be used in all agricultural pest control by 2014. Clients for IPM programs include large- and small-scale practitioners of agriculture, horticulture, and gardening, both professional and public. However, there are still significant knowledge gaps that prevent the use of IPM.
Implementing IPM involves iterative interaction between basic laboratory research, field trials, and multiple stakeholders to foster co-learning of innovation. The design of optimal integrated pest management strategies is an interdisciplinary research activity that bridges the gap between theoretical and applied ecology and requires field-applied science based on ecological theory. Therefore, the ecology of relevant pests and diseases and their interactions with the aboveground and belowground components of the crop management system need to be well understood. Such an interdisciplinary approach requires the development and the refinement of collaboration within the research group.
