This year's BCPC Congress, returned to Harrogate on 7 and 8 November, and was attended by over 130 participants. Addressing the theme of 'Providing policy and regulatory support for multi-functional UK agriculture' the speakers – some presenting to the delegates on-line – delivered informative, thought-provoking and at times controversial presentations covering a range of issues. BCPC's General Manager, Julian Westaway said he was delighted that the Congress has again attracted such positive interest. The programme enabled them to deliver a great mix of authoritative speakers. Analysing the two days, there were key themes which were repeated throughout, namely agricultural policy, land-use and food security, future pesticide regulation in the UK, current pesticide regulatory issues, possible changes to pesticide management, current and future challenges to pesticide use.

Conyza spp. (fleabane) are among the main weeds found globally. They have an annual life cycle and herbaceous size, high seed production, are found in different agricultural environments, such as grain crops (Photo 1). Fleabane control can be hindered by one or more of the following factors: high propagule production, wind propagation of propagules, herbicide resistance. For example, a single fleabane plant can produce more than 200,000 seeds in a year. In Brazil, there are cases of Conyza sumatrensis with multiple resistance to the herbicides chlorimuron and glyphosate, simple resistance to paraquat, in addition to cases of simple or multiple resistance to these and other herbicides (photosystem II inhibitors and synthetic auxins). Also in Paraguay, a country that borders Brazil, there is a report of a biotype with triple resistance to the herbicides paraquat, chlorimuron and glyphosate. In addition to this scenario of difficulties in control and cases of resistance, only 2.7 fleabane plants m–2 can reduce soybean productivity by 50%. These cases of fleabane resistance to herbicides make their management difficult, due to the loss of control tools. One of the main problems in this regard is resistance to 2,4-D, due to the complex rapid necrosis resistance. Rapid necrosis is an uncommon response to 2,4-D herbicide and this response is related to environmental conditions during application (temperature and light). After application of 2,4-D, necrotic symptoms occur rapidly in the leaves, in some situations within less than an hour after application. The rapid accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) after application of 2,4-D causes lipid peroxidation and the production of ROS is related to the occurrence of necrosis in C. sumatrensis. Rapid necrosis resembles a programmed cell death response. However, these symptoms do not lead to plant death, with subsequent plant recovery one to two weeks after application, in addition to disrupting sequential application with burndown herbicides. Considering this setback, alternatives to be used to control fleabane iinclude the use of other synthetic auxins, such as dicamba, triclopyr, halauxifen or fluroxypyr, or even other herbicides, such as atrazine and mesotrione, which are adopted in maize cultivation or in the off-season. These herbicides can be used in the first application in a mixture with glyphosate, in which the control is complemented by the sequential application of glufosinate. These herbicides mixed with glyphosate are believed to be effective in controlling 2,4-D-resistant fleabane in the first application of pre-sowing soybean desiccation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of glyphosate in mixtures with dicamba, triclopyr, halauxifen/diclosulam, fluroxypyr/clethodim, 2,4-D or atrazine/mesotrione, with sequential application of glufosinate, in the control of 2,4-D resistant fleabane in soybean pre-sowing.

Widespread drought across Europe during the 2022 grain growing season has left livestock farmers wary as the dry spell caused higher levels of mycotoxins. The drought has increased the presence of moulds which, in turn, bumped up the mycotoxin levels in new crop grains and forages. Mycotoxins are produced by certain species of fungus and are a big concern for livestock producers as they can influence feed quality and subsequent animal health and performance. The grim news was delivered by an analysis of crops grown in 2022 and sampled in a joint effort between Alltech and SGS, a global leader in mycotoxin testing and certification. The Alltech 2022 European Harvest Analysis collected data for key feed ingredients on a regional level, and the final results indicate moderate to high levels of mycotoxin risk. Over 1,000 samples of the most common grains and forages produced and used in the European livestock industry were taken as part of the work. Samples have been collected from farms or animal feed production sites in 20 different countries, offering a representative picture of the contamination risk in all regions, with an overall moderate to high risk. Dr Radka Borutova, European technical support manager with the Alltech mycotoxin management team, said the current results look very similar to the analysis performed in 2021, with the aflatoxin issue in central and south eastern Europe dominating the headlines and creating the greatest challenge for feed and livestock producers to manage. Although this analysis gives a robust assessment of the mycotoxin risk in Europe this year until you actually test the ingredients that you are using in your business, it can be difficult to implement an effective control plan. Some main results from the analysis reported that 100% of samples contained mycotoxins, with 79% containing 2 or more. On average, each sample contained 4.5 mycotoxins with aflatoxins, type B trichothecenes, fumonisins and emerging mycotoxins the most dominant groups detected. A total of 67 corn samples exceeded aflatoxin regulatory limits for feed usage, which is a major concern for livestock farmers. Mitigating mycotoxins is a huge challenge with no universal solution. However, breakthroughs are being made all the time in mycotoxin control and prevention, mycotoxin testing and the impact of mycotoxins on livestock. For the second year running, aflatoxin contamination of corn in central and south eastern Europe is a dominant issue for feed and livestock producers to consider as they begin to purchase and use ingredients during the coming feeding season.

Keith Walters welcomed delegates and chaired the first session on "New Solutions", aimed to attract presentations on latest developments and novel Biocontrol/IPM approaches nearing completion or recently launched. Lauren Diepenbrock (University of Florida) started the session in which 'Rebuilding of IPM in growing citrus' was described. Before Huanglongbing (HLG) in the good old days, farmers may have used an oil spray and they used spider webs between trees. HLG is a bacterial disease Liberibacter asiaticus, first detected in 2005 that caused yellow shoots, twig dieback, stunted growth, and overall tree decline with misshapen fruits. Another pest from 1998 was the Asiatic citrus psyllid (ACP – Diaphorina citri) that is the vector of Candidactus liberator, causal agent of HLB. With many natural enemies including ladybirds, lacewings, syrphids, spiders, ants and other parasitoids, but from 1998–2016, in Citrus Health Management areas, farmers used insecticides, including neonicotinoids, but although this achieved solid returns, it was not going to last and there was a need to return to IPM, by incorporating non-insecticidal management options and reduce insecticide inputs. A new tool was to apply kaolin clay to reduce psyllid infestation and increase plant health. Another new idea was to protect individual trees with Exclusion bags to prevent ACP access to trees and improve scouting for pests. While successful with young trees, more research is needed to improve the return on investment.
Keith Walters对代表们表示欢迎,并主持了关于“新解决方案”的第一届会议,旨在吸引有关最新发展和即将完成或最近启动的新型生物防治/IPM方法的介绍。Lauren Diepenbrock(佛罗里达大学)在“重建柑橘种植中的IPM”会议上发言。在黄龙冰(HLG)之前,在过去的好日子里,农民们可能使用喷油器,他们在树之间使用蜘蛛网。HLG是一种细菌性疾病亚洲Liberibacter asiaticus,于2005年首次发现,导致嫩芽发黄,枝条枯死,生长迟缓,树木整体下降,果实畸形。1998年发现的另一种害虫是亚洲柑橘木虱(ACP - Diaphorina citri),它是HLB的致病因子白弧菌(candiactus liberator)的载体。有许多天敌,包括瓢虫、草蛉、蚜虫、蜘蛛、蚂蚁和其他类寄生虫,但从1998年至2016年,在柑橘健康管理区域,农民使用杀虫剂,包括新烟碱类,尽管这取得了稳定的回报,但它不会持续,需要回归IPM,通过结合非杀虫管理方案和减少杀虫剂投入。应用高岭土是减少木虱侵害和提高植物健康的新手段。另一个新想法是用隔离袋保护每棵树,以防止ACP接近树木,并改善对害虫的侦察。虽然在幼树方面取得了成功,但还需要更多的研究来提高投资回报。

The purpose of the Pests and Beneficials Group is to provide a forum for discussion of relevant research results and new legislation and impact on integrated pest management. The objective of this meeting was to understand better how to deliver practical IPM solutions to farmers. This starts with the policy context, followed by research that can be done and finally the delivery of tools and information to famers and the successful implementation of IPM in the field. The meeting also sought to highlight the need to integrate the thinking about the implications of combining IPM management decisions for insect, disease and weed pests and the trade-offs that may have to be made as a result. Cathryn Lambourne, Knowledge Transfer Manager from Agrifood section of the KTN (Knowledge Transfer Network), UKRI provided an account of the work of the KTN, particularly in the Agrifood sector, providing support for those seeking information, funding, and connections within the industry followed by a short outline of the principles of IPM.
