Integrerad hantering av skadedjur och pollinatorer

The PhD course ‘Integrated Pest and Pollinator Management’ covers basic principles for the design and implementation of IPPM strategies, focusing on the co-management of pests and beneficial organisms in agroecosystems.



The course will incorporate lectures, seminars (including student participation in a virtual international workshop: ‘pollinators & entomovectoring’), pre- and post-course assignments, problem-oriented group study, and hands-on training of concepts and tools in computer labs and the field (excursion to SITES Lönnstorp Research Station). Q&A sessions with industry experts and agricultural advisors will provide course participants with the opportunity to explore career development options.

Teaching will cover a range of theoretical and applied topics at the forefront of IPPM, including:

- The ecology and economics of interactions between crops, pollinators, pests (insects, weeds, pathogens), and natural enemies (insect and microbial biological control agents);

- Conflicts and synergies between crop pollination, pesticide use, and other IPM practices (e.g. companion cropping, biopesticides);

- Practical monitoring and decision support tools for IPPM (e.g. pollinator action thresholds);

- IPPM, pollinator health, and climate change;

- Industry, societal, and policy perspectives.
