The ADOPT-IPM Pest Management Portal is your open access gateway to integrated pest management (IPM) information for pests and diseases of tomato, cabbages, lettuce, wheat and maize in Europe and China. It features browsable lists of preventative, monitoring and chemical and non-chemical control measures to tackle more than 80 pests in Europe and China, including new IPM practices and products developed through the ADOPT-IPM project innovative research. Coming soon, it will also provide performance data to demonstrate how specific combinations of measures (IPM packages) performed in the field in comparison to baseline management practices.
Why use the ADOPT-IPM Pest Management Portal?
The continuous stream of invasive agricultural pests and chronic re-emergence of key ones prompt for implementation of IPM measures, but often main management methods rely largely on conventional chemical pesticides. Widespread use of pesticides is highlighted as a key threat to human health and wildlife and often leads to pesticide resistance.
The ADOPT-IPM project consortium, consisting of 32 partners in Europe and China, has adapted and optimized IPM measures and developed new practices and products, combining these into cost-effective, environmentally-sound IPM packages.
Use the Portal to find IPM options and view performance data to support decision making when planning your own IPM packages to tackle pests and diseases on your farm.
Who is the ADOPT-IPM Pest Management Portal for?
The Portal is aimed at growers and advisors in Denmark, France, Italy, Netherlands, Spain and China who need on-demand information on pest management options. It is particularly useful for those who are trying to move away from reliance on chemical pesticides and want to find out how to combine management options via an integrated approach.
How was the Portal produced?
CABI developed the Portal in partnership with ADOPT-IPM and are responsible for maintaining the website. CABI is an international, inter-governmental, not-for-profit organization that helps to improve lives worldwide by applying scientific expertise to problems in agriculture and the environment. Our approach involves putting information, skills and tools into people’s hands.
The data within the Portal was compiled by a number of ADOPT-IPM project partners. The lists of IPM options were compiled and verified by AgriNewTech 
based on contributions from a range of partners as named at the top of each pest page. Performance data for specific IPM packages was collected during field trials and used by Imperial College in their IPM package assessment tool to generate the performance indicator graphs.
The information made available, has been obtained from or is based upon sources believed by CABI to be reliable but is not guaranteed as to accuracy or completeness. Anyone acting or relying on such information does so entirely at their own risk. Please follow the link below to view the full terms and conditions for use of this Portal.
