European Network to Develop Sustainable Crop Protection Strategies
February 23, 2007| |
The European Network for the Durable Exploitation of Crop Protection Strategies (ENDURE) was launched recently at the National Institute for Agricultural Research of France (INRA). ENDURE aims to develop crop protection strategies compatible with sustainable development. The network will foster investment in the biology of pathogens, insect pests and weeds and the creation of varieties with sustainable resistance; the use of biological control; the spatial diversification of agricultural ecosystems; the management of invasive species and the integrated management of weeds. ENDURE, coordinated by INRA and managed by its subsidiary INRA Transfert, has received 11.2 million Euros in funding, and will involve more than 130 researchers working in 18 European organizations over the next four years.
