Actions

• Share data from the epidemiological surveillance network and OADs (decision support tools)

​​

• Deploy predictive models/OADs for infestation risk to anticipate the development of piercing-sucking pests and/or the risk of vector-borne diseases

​​

• Disseminate information gathered from observations, decision support tools (DSTs) and trap monitoring to provide information on risk levels in Plant Health Bulletins (PHB)

​

• Create a common reference system for diagnosing piercing-sucking pests

​

• Create a database of tested biocontrol solutions

​​

• Transfer disease detection and pest identification tools to technical centres and producer organisations, whether these are laboratory techniques or rapid field diagnostics

​

• Design educational materials for stakeholders on integrated crop protection against piercing-sucking pests and vector-borne diseases (technical data sheets on pests, vector-borne diseases, reservoir plants, protection strategies)

​

• Share the knowledge gained with regulatory authorities for the updating of standards, e.g. CTPS, DQCO, ONPV, etc.

​

• Promote the project and the knowledge generated through written or oral communications (press, conferences, trial visits, webinars, etc.)

​​

• Target existing networks and organisations/projects working on the same issues in Europe and organise an annual seminar with the stakeholders involved to discuss results and avenues for progress
