Registration for the 6th European Conference on Copper in Plant Protection is now open! Bund Ökologische Lebensmittelwirtschaft (BÖLW), IFOAM Organics Europe and the Julius-Kühn Institute are pleased to invite researchers, national and local authorities, politicians, industry, and practitioners to discuss the following questions: Which innovations support copper minimization? Which research and development projects can solve
A new RELACS video explores the work and research currently pursued in the Rose Valley in Bulgaria. Organic farmers are researching replacements of traditional copper Plant Protection Products (PPP) sometimes used in organic farming. What is the issue? Both rust on the rose and black leaf spots are economically important diseases in the oil bearing

Recent severe weather events and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report make it clear: agriculture will have to prepare for more droughts and heavy rain events. In wet years such as 2021, plant protection in organic perennial and speciality crops are a challenging task for farms, especially when it comes to copper minimisation.
The RELACS project recently released two new scientific papers on promising plant and animal protection methods and strategies for reducing the use of disputed external inputs. Treating powdery mildew in cucumber production with tagatose Powdery mildew fungi (Ascomycota phylum) is a persistent threat to cucumber production in soilless systems, requiring application of a lot of
From 30 August to 3 September 2021, the 72nd meeting of the European Federation of Animal Science (EAAP) “Scientific solutions to different demands on the livestock sector” will take place in Davos, Switzerland. The programme covers various disciplines, such as animal genetics, animal health and welfare, animal nutrition, animal physiology, livestock farming systems, cattle, horse,
Do you want to learn more about which natural inputs are needed in organic farming and discuss the future of plant protection products, fertilisers and inputs for livestock production? Participate in IFOAM Organics Europe‘s digital exchange session on ”Which natural inputs do we need in organic farming systems? Discussing the future of plant protection products,
The RELACS project just released two new practice abstracts on promising alternatives to fertilisers suitable for organic farming. Struvite as alternative to phosphorus All crops need phosphorus (P) to grow, but only a few P sources are permitted in organic farming. Rock phosphate is one of them, but because it comes from non-renewable sources and
The EUREKA project launched a survey to collect information on how multi-actor projects (MAPs) perform impact assessments and evaluation. The aim of EUREKA is to help ensure the longer-term and wider use of the practical knowledge and innovative solutions generated by farmers, foresters and other rural businesses in Horizon 2020 multi-actor projects. Lots of valuable
