Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
As part of the Sustainable Use Directive, the UK government is required to show that UK growers are using integrated pest management practices.
Grassland Focus
Careful use of PPP’s in grassland and forage agriculture is a particular focus for the VI. In comparison to Arable areas, PPP’s are often used less widely and less frequently but the importance of best practice cannot be understated. This area will be developed in coming months with new material and information.
