Innovative Real-time Monitoring and Pest control for Insects (INSECTLIFE)
Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2018,
Background
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a sustainable approach to pest control that combines the use of prevention, avoidance, monitoring and suppression strategies to maintain pest populations below economically damaging levels. IPM can also minimise pest resistance and harmful effects of pest control on human health and environmental resources.

Genetics and physiology of wheat development to flowering: tools to breed for improved adaptation and yield potential (ADAPTAWHEAT)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
"ADAPTAWHEAT will show how flowering time variation can be exploited for the genetic improvement of the European wheat crop to optimise adaptation and performance in the light of predicted climate change. It will test current hypotheses that postulate specific changes in ear emergence and the timing and duration of developmental phases, which are thought of as components of ear emergence, will i ...

Drought-tolerant yielding plants (DROPS)
Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
DROPS will develop novel methods and strategies aimed at yield maintenance under fluctuating water deficit and at enhanced plant water-use efficiency. We deal with high genotype x environment interaction in the field (any trait can have positive, negative or no effect depending on drought scenarios) with an approach combining Physiology, Genetics, field testing and Ecophysiological modelling. The ...

Strategies for Organic and Low-input Integrated Breeding And Management (SOLIBAM)
Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,
SOLIBAM will develop specific and novel breeding approaches integrated with management practices to improve the performance, quality, sustainability and stability of crops adapted to organic and low-input systems, in their diversity in Europe and taking into account small-scale farms in Africa. SOLIBAM will: 1. Identify traits specific for adaptation to low-input/organic conditions over a wide ran ...

Environmental quality and pressures assessment across Europe: the LTER network as an integrated and shared system for ecosystem monitoring (EnvEurope)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
Background
A vast amount environmental data is currently collected across Europe, both at national and international level, generating valuable information for policy makers and citizens. However, much of this information is not readily comparable, posing a major obstacle to the development of well-informed environmental policies and strategies at Europea ...

Monitoring Soil Biological Activity by using a novel tool: EDAPHOLOG-System - system building and field testing (MEDAPHON)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
Background
Soil is defined as the top layer of the earthâs crust. It is formed by mineral particles, organic matter, water, air and living organisms. It is a complex, variable and living medium. As well as providing a habitat for many species it performs many vital ecosystem functions including production of food and biomass, filtration of water and tra ...
