Biopesticides are safe crop protection products based on micro-organisms, plant extracts and other natural compounds.
AMBER is a research project to identify practical ways for growers to improve the performance of these products in their crop protection programmes.
About AMBER
Application and Management of Biopesticides for Efficacy and Reliability is funded by the UK Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (project code CP158) using levy funds from UK growers.
Current research
We're working to improve biopesticide spray applications.
We're investigating how biopesticides affect pest population growth.
We're studying biopesticide persistence on crop plants. This will help growers plan their spray programmes better.
A bioprotectant workshop was held at Warwick Crop Centre on the 5th February 2020. Presentations currently available (All presentations subject to the authors copyright):
