Pesticide Testing in Fruit Growing

Pesticides are tested not only in terms of their effectiveness on specific organisms but also regarding their environmental side effects. The results provide the basis for recommendations given by Laimburg extension specialists.

• Testing of new pesticides before their introduction into the fruit-growing sector
• Testing of the side effects of agents on plants and beneficial organisms
• Comparison of application techniques in order to determine the optimal time point and method of pesticide application
• Developing strategies of handling pests that have developed resistance to pesticides
