SMART agriculture for innovative vegetable crop PROTECTion: harnessing advanced methodologies and technologies
SmartProtect IPM

In General

SmartProtect is a thematic network focusing on cross regional knowledge sharing of SMART Integrated Pest Management (IPM) solutions for farmers and advisors. Aim is to stimulate knowledge flow in the regional Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKISs) across the EU and connect these on the innovative potential of advanced methodologies for IPM in vegetable production, integrating precision farming technologies and data analytics.

More Information

SmartProtect project intends to develop a thematic network offering advanced farming technology and data analysis, by identifying the needs of farmers and purpose methodologies for daily practices based on smart IPM. Through its e-platform, knowledge for vegetable crops related to IPM is gathered, shared, managed and distributed. It benchmarks the highest innovation model for SMART IPM, providing farmers with easily accessible and understandable material, guidelines and support systems for vegetable cropping. SmartProtect will focus on the introduction of innovative, smart technologies and techniques in the following IPM-topics for specific model pests and demo crops, leading to mutual benefits detection of beneficial’s, pests and pathogens using specific algorithms, innovative monitoring techniques, prediction models and their incorporation into warning and decision support systems, innovative biological control techniques such as conservation biological control, systemic induced resistance and UV-light systems.
