The EUCLID project aims to deliver the simultaneous optimisation of current pest management methods and the development of novel ones, and to promote their rapid adoption through the design of IPM packages and exploitation by end-users. This will reduce the dependence of European and Chinese farmers on chemical pesticides in selected key farming systems in both regions.
Optimise existing management methods for key agricultural pests.

Reduce the dependence of European and Chinese farmers on chemical pesticides.
Promote rapid adoption through the design of IPM packages.
Assess the candidate pest management and newly IPM solutions under commercial field conditions.
Disseminate knowledge to key stakeholders.
