Lettuce Fact Sheet

This document is designed for use by lettuce farmers and agronomists in Europe to inform them on smart technologies and methodologies available to them for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) solutions in open-field and greenhouse systems. The SMART IPM technologies are divided into four main technique types each with subsections of their own: Monitoring (Pest monitoring, Crop Monitoring, Others), Diagnostics and detection (ELISA, RNA and DNA, Mobile disorder detection, Others), Decision support (With sensors, Without sensors), Application (Sprayers, Sprayer drones, Mechanical weeders, UV techniques, Distribution system for beneficials, others).
