Main research questionSustainable crop protection can only be achieved when the various steps in the deposition-retention-uptake-translocation process are optimally performed.
Agrobody-mediated crop protection
74th International Symposium on Crop Protection
The Symposium will address several aspects of crop protection and will include a plenary session with two invited papers: Prof. dr. Bruce McDonald (ETH Zürich, Switzerland): "The evolution of plant pathogens in agricultural ecosystems" Prof. dr.
Smart crop protection in potato and fruit cultivation thanks to Flemish technology
Smart cameras on drones or tractors can detect plant diseases in agricultural crops.
Main research questionThe overall objective of OPTiSPRAY is to support farmers, contractors and advisors in choosing the optimal spray application technique according to crop (development), target organism, and type of plant protection product (PPP).
Optimal spray application of plant protection products
Main research questionIn the Pasture Protection project, we are determining which tree species and shrub plantings are most adequate as shelter for animals kept outdoors, and which, in addition to having a good effect on animal welfare, also score in terms of forage value, wind resistance and exposure to soil compaction.
Pasture protection: adequate shelter for animals kept outdoors
Bio-engineers from Ghent develop biological control of fruit flies
Researchers from Ghent University and ILVO have developed a biological method to combat fruit flies that live on fresh fruit.

Protecting drinking water from contamination with plant protection products - WaterProtect
In the WaterProtect project, alternative solutions are being sought for the protection of drinking water sources
ILVO has years of experience in collecting both biological and ecosystem data with the objective to provide biological advice for the European Common Fisheries Policy. The focus is on the Belgian fisheries and its fished species and areas.
