This webinar is hosted by the Warwick Crop Centre.
The Rothamsted Insect Survey (RIS) has been running two trap networks since 1964. Its long-term data sets are unique, providing information on aphids, larger moths and many other migrating insects to scientists, growers, conservation organisations, individuals and policy makers. As such, the networks represent the most comprehensive standardised long-term data set on insects in the World and have a wide range of fundamental and applied uses.
Dr Lawrence Bramham, the new Head of the Insect Survey will talk about its activities and resources. This is especially pertinent since 2025 has been such a 'bad' year for infestations by some of the pest aphids captured in the suction trap network.
