The big picture: using wildflower strips for pest control
They may be beautiful, but these strips prove pretty deadly for every farmer's mortal enemy: aphids
To understand the trade-offs and co-benefits of delivering healthier agroecosystems using bio-inspired innovations and decision making to improve crop/forage productivity and quality, reduce pest pressures and improve water/air quality via reduced nutrient losses.
The programme will focus on three main areas:
Science Director Sustainable Soils and Crops
Biological/Organic Chemist
Plant and Soil Microbiologist
Spatial Statistician
