  1. Robert Walker, European Director, Alltech Crop Science Integrated Disease Management:For Fashion or Profit?

  2. Integrated Disease Management? ?

  3. It’s about Sustaniability

  4. Sustainability?

  5. Let’s take a closer look at1. MANAGEMENT2. CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGIES3. NATURAL TECHNOLOGIES

  6. Management: • Plant Variety • Reduced Inoculum • Disease Monitoring • Microclimate - water, temperature, wind, … • Management of Sub-Clinical Disease • Other

  7. Chemical Technologies: • Fungicide Selection • Dosage • Timing • Resistance

  8. Natural Technologies: Bio-Fungicides

  9. Why integrate with Natural Technologies? • Fungicide Resistance • Withholding periods • Effect chemical pesticides on: • Growth suppression & Phytotoxciticy • Soil health: Rhizophere damage

  10. “A good integrated disease management program will increase yield and quality!”

  11. Managing subclinical disease? Disease Clinical Disease (Visible) Sub-Clinical Disease (Invisible) Time

  12. Manage sub-clinical disease: • Healthier plants • More energy available to the plant to use for growth • Better Yield and Quality!

  13. Categories of Bio-Fungicides • Predator • Competitive exclusion • Antibiotic • ISR & SAR

  14. Predator species • Living micro-organisms that kill plant pathogens

  15. Competitive Exclusion • Beneficial living micro-organisms that compete with plant pathogens for the same resources.

  16. Antibiotic • Natural substances that stop or slow the growth of microorganisms

  17. Rhizoctonia Control Procrop Shield

  18. Pythium Control Procrop Shield

  19. Pytophthora Control Procrop Shield

  20. Sclerotinia Control Procrop Shield

  21. Sclerotium Control Procrop Shield

  22. Alternaria Control Procrop Shield

  23. SAR / ISR / Elicitors / Fortifiers • Substances that induce the plant to defend itself using its own natural defence mechanisms. • Plants are primed prior to attack such that they are ready for pathogen attack • Systemic effect

  24. Maximal 9 days after induction • Lasts for ± 21 days • Need for continual applications P R O T E C T I O N 7-9 21 DAYS

  25. Typical Berry Crop Protection Program P R O T E C T I O N • Alternate Procrop ISR with ProCrop Shield • Alternate with Regular pesticide program Chemi. Fungi. Chemical Fungicide Chemical Fungicide DAYS

  26. Cost of a Program that alternates Natural with Chemical? • Same to lower price than “all chemical” program • Benefits: • Withholding period • Reduced use of chemicals – long term performance • Preventative program • Resistance • Post harvest quality
