## About this tender

In order to encourage farmers and growers away from prophylactically spraying pesticides to their

crops, we need to be able to inform them of the alternative strategies and more importantly how to

implement them effectively. IPM covers a broad range of strategies from using forecasting to

predict incidence and timing of a pest to targeted spraying of pesticides only where and when

needed to growing disease resistant varieties. When discussing barriers to IPM with farmers, they

often quote lack of knowledge as a key issue. Disseminating knowledge about best practice with

IPM strategies is therefore key to increasing uptake. We plan to commission a set of instructional

videos covering both the theory and practice of IPM to upskill farmers in an accessible bitesize way.

Increasing uptake of IPM across farmers will hopefully lead to a reduced reliance on synthetic

chemicals and a knock-on reduction in the speed at which pesticide resistance develops in crop

pests and diseases.
