Project description
The aim of research:
To obtain information on the impact of plant protection products on the environment and occupational safety, as well as to find out the resistance of various pests to plant protection products.
The tasks of project:
- To collect samples of soil, water, plant and bees products in order to determine the residue spectrum of plant protection products in sowings and plantations of various crops
- To analyse the botanical composition of pollen to be able to identify correlations with pesticide residues To determinate of fungicide resistance in 2020 and 2021 on apple scab and grey mould samples
Within the framework of the project, it is planned to collect samples of soil, water and plant products in order to determine the residue spectrum of plant protection products in sowings and plantations of various crops.
The determination of pest resistance in 2020 will be performed on apple scab and grey rot samples, and it is also planned to develop recommendations for the prevention of resistance.
