Dudutech Webinar: Understanding Nematodes for Practical Farmers

Posted by coryadmin

Globally, nematodes cause US$125 billion in crop losses, making them the single most important pest to threaten food security. With over 4100 phytoparasitic nematode species threatening global crops and increasing pressure to reduce reliance on chemical controls, understanding and implementing effective and sustainable management is critical in 2023.

We have joined up with Ecospray and UK-based nematode control expert Dr Colin Fleming for a global webinar to empower our growers with useful and practical information on nematodes.

Topics:

  • Plant Parasitic Nematodes – biology, ecology and diversity
  • Signs and symptoms of PPN attack – Economic importance to farmers
  • How nematodes interact with plants
  • Nematodes as Biocontrols for pests
  • Biology, ecology and diversity
  • Integrated Management of Nematodes
  • Tools and methods for sustainable management of Nematodes

Phil Weller (Dudutech Zimbabwe and Nuffield Zimbabwe) had the privilege of presenting his research at the 10th Oppenheimer Research Conference (1-3 October 2019). The conference, which brought together over 348 delegates with interests in natural and environmental science, aims to contribute to the global conversation on ecosystems and biodiversity in a meaningful way.

“Work with nature, don’t impose your will on nature,”
Nicky Oppenheimer, 10th Oppenheimer Research Conference 2019

This year Phil Weller presented research from his Nuffield research project on how Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is being used in a commercial context around the world. The aim of the project was to highlight how IPM can be used globally for sustainable agriculture on a wide variety of crops and livestock.

During the introduction of the conference, Nicky Oppenheimer said, “work with nature; don’t impose your will on nature,” reaffirming the ethos at the heart of Dudutech and Phil’s research project.
