Pheromones, used by insects for communication, can be used to lure and trap pests. PheroSyn, a spin-out from Rothamsted Research, has been awarded an Innovate UK grant (£200k) to develop the supply chain for a new set of insect pheromones to tackle midges and weevils. It is working with PGRO on these major pests of beans.
The theme of REAP 2021 is time, a key limiting factor in agricultural production.The conference will examine many dimensions of time and technologies that are emerging to manipulate or overcome this major obstacle.
What aspect of time is most limiting for agriculture? Agri-TechE will ask this at Groundswell in a poll to gather insights ahead of REAP 2021
Emerging innovations and technology offer the potential for agricultural industry to grab hold of time
A new era of decision support tools is making it possible to understand the complexity of food production for the first time and to begin to see how the system can be improved at every level. Latest developments in the vibrant agri-tech ecosystem are captured in the new REAP report.
