Description
Study visit to conduct toxicological experiments with the target pest species Diabrotica virgifera virgifera
This study visit funded by the to the Environment Research Priming Fund (ERPF) will enable a range of toxicological experiments to be conducted with commercially available plant protection products on larvae of the western corn rootworm. A lack of such experimental data currently prevents showcasing the applicability and value of a novel modelling framework developed to predict temporally-and spacially explicit pesticide efficiency.
