Integrated pest management in fruit crops

Published: Sept. 8, 2020, 12:18 p.m.

In this month’s episode of the BASIS Agronomy Matters Podcast, our technical manager, Greg Hopkinson hones in on integrated pest management in commercial fruit production and speaks to two expert guests.

Firstly we hear from Alex Radu, Agrovista’s fruit team technical manager. Alex focuses on pest control in orchards and talks about new innovations including beneficial insect refuges and sex hormone disruptors.

This is followed by a conversation with Selchuk Kurtev (often known as Semo) from Certis. Semo discusses how strawberry production has changed in the UK and how IPM can be used to produce safe, sustainable and consumer-friendly strawberries in the UK.
