BCA against Aphids
BIOCOMES objectives:
Development of a parasitoid-based product against aphids in at least one economically important fruit tree crop (apple, pear, cherry, plum).
- Identification of biologically efficient parasitoids suitable for cost-efficient mass-rearing
- Integration of the biological control agent in a total fauna approach within IPM strategies
- Facilitation of the start of implementation of the biological control agent in pilot projects at growers (‘easy-to-use’)
