Biotechnical control of the invasive brown marmorated stink bug Halyomorpha halys in organic fruit and vegetable production using push-pull-kill methods based on aggregation pheromones combined with kairomones - Julius Kühn - Institute

Project


Project code: 2819OE106
Contract period: 01.05.2022 - 30.04.2025
Budget: 394,159 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: biological plant protection, horticulture, climate (climate relevance, climate protection, climate change), animal pathogens, organic farming

The aim of the project is to further develop biotechnical plant protection using attractants and repellents to control the brown marmorated stink bug in organic farming with a focus on horticulture. By using encapsulated volatile organic compounds in the context of a novel push-pull-kill strategy (composed of push-and-pull and attract-and-kill), species-specific control of this invasive plant-sucking bug is to be achieved, thus establishing a new strategy for sustainable plant protection in organic and integrated farming that will later be transferable to other harmful bug species.
