Factsheet DSS codling moth flight model
Codling moth causing damage in various fruits. The larvae emerged from eggs laid by the codling moth (Cydia Pomonello) on the surface of the fruit cause damage to apples, pears and other pome fruit. The larvae burrow inside and blemish the surface of the fruit which makes it unsellable. The DSS Codling moth flight model on platform.ipmdecisions.net, predicts the start of adult codling moth flight, enabling users to undertake targeted monitoring and/or mitigating actions to reduce the risk of damage to the crop. A 3-parameter non-linear regression model fits cumulative moth captures as a function of accumulated day degrees for all three of the male flights. The model predicts that 1st migration begins after 151 day degrees, 2nd migration begins after 673 day degrees and 3rd migration begins after 1303 day degrees. The start of migration events are reported in the DSS warning to the user. The model uses minimum and maximum temperature from the 1st of January. The DSS output gives information about the risk of codling moth migration. The ‘Cumulative Captures’ chart indicates the predicted accumulative proportion (%) of adult males likely to be caught by these dates. This DSS was adapted from work carried out in Greece, and is considered applicable, but not yet validated in, Albania, Romania, Bosnia, Croatia, Italy, Macedonia, Montenegro, Portugal, San Marino, Slovenia, Slovakia, and Spain.

A Bio-inspired Multilayer Drainage System
Agricultural run-off and subsurface drainage tiles transport a significant amount of nitrogen and phosphorus leached after fertilization. alchemia-nova GmbH in collaboration with University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna developed two multi-layer vertical filter systems to address the agricultural run-off issue, which has been installed on the slope of an agricultural field in Mistelbach, Austria. While another multi-layer addressing subsurface drainage water is implemented in Gleisdorf, Austria. The goal is to develop a drainage filter system to retain water and nutrients. Both multi-layer filter systems contain biochar and other substrates with adsorption properties of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus). The filter system can be of practical use if an excess of nutrients being washed out is of concern in the fields of the practitioner by keeping the surrounding waters clean. This approach may result in economic value by re-using the saturated biochar as fertilizer and improving the soil structure, thus increasing long-term soil fertility.

NANOCELLULOSE MEMBRANES FOR NUTRIENT RECOVERY
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No 858735This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No 858735. FACTSHEET NANOCELLULOSE MEMBRANES FOR NUTRIENT RECOVERY Key information Functionalized nanocellulose membranes can take up nitrate and phosphate. These membranes can be put in a water treatment unit. As the membranes are biobased, degradable materials, they can after use be added to the soil, thus returning the leached nutrients back for their original purpose providing fertilizers (nutrient recycling).
Environmental monitoring within greenhouse crops using wireless sensors
Because variables such as temperature and humidity have a profound effect on the activity of crop pests, diseases and natural enemies, the ability to monitor environmental conditions within a crop has always been important for crop protection.
