Implementing IPM in arable crops in New Zealand

Client: The Foundation for Arable Research

Project delivery period: 2003-2006

The Foundation for Arable Research based in Lincoln, New Zealand contacted IPM Technologies requesting we conduct a project to demonstrate and implement IPM in arable crops in New Zealand.  IPM in these crops was a new concept to most growers and advisors, and Paul Horne and Jessica Page worked with collaborating farmers and scientists to demonstrate how it was possible.  The farmers that took part in the initial trials went on to adopted IPM on their farms and became champions for IPM.
