Text 2. Competence area within integrated plant protection (continuation) Deep knowledge
Our unit has developed a broad and deep knowledge in IPM that links basic and applied research by collaboration within the working group and with groups at other institutions within and outside Sweden. By designing research programs that embrace all the steps, from multi-stakeholder research question definitions through the acquisition of basic knowledge to the transition to the field situation, we generate novel opportunities for a safe pest management.
We conduct research in direct connection with practitioners and agricultural development actors and it is responsive to their input. We conduct basic research to address knowledge gaps that relate to applied problems, and we interact with stakeholders to explore new opportunities for sustainable and resilient pest management, and for the implementation of our research. Currently, we interact by using participatory action research methods within the context of pest management research. Teaching activities have been closely linked to basic as well as applied research in order to prepare the students to play important roles in future sustainable plant protection.
Applied research
The objective of our research is to improve IPM programs through the incorporation of tools such as biological control, cultural practices, semi-chemicals, decision support tools, and ecosystem engineering within cultivation systems. In order to fulfill our mission, we are carrying out laboratory, semi-field and field research from an agro-ecological perspective. This approach allows for both developing new practical applications and testing new ecological hypotheses. Broader goals such as preservation of biodiversity, ecosystem services and food safety are achieved through the implementation of our results. The ultimate goal is to co-create new pest management programs in cooperation with end-users and thereby increase IPM adoption.
