Great presentation @AABiologists Biocontrol & IPM by @CSV_Price, talking about her research @HarperAdamsUni exploring the impact of soil moisture on aggregation behaviour of the grey field slug.
Dr Claire Price retweeted
It's a slug-heavy session #AABIPM with @CSV_Price presenting recently published work on the impact of high soil moisture content on slug abundance.
Lots of questions about the project!

We made it to Leicester for @AABiologists Biocontrol & IPM! Looking forward to two days exploring the themes of #biocontrol & #IPM in uncertain climatic and economic environments.

Delighted to announce that recent work by colleagues and myself on grey field slug spatial distribution, as part of the SLIMERS project, has been published!

How do you control slugs on your farm? Get involved in the discussion over on The Slug Circle @TheFarmingForum with Dr. Price from @HarperAdamsUni 👇

How do you currently control slugs on your farm? Has this changed in recent years & if so, why?
Have you tried biological control agents such as nematodes or predatory beetles to control slugs (or other pests)? What were the results?

Delighted to share the latest paper from the @HarperAdamsUni Applied Entomology Group: ‘Temperature and time of season are the predominant drivers of cabbage stem flea beetle, Psylliodes chrysocephala, arrival at oilseed rape crops’.
Our study investigated the environmental factors influencing the migration of cabbage stem flea beetles (CSFB) to oilseed rape crops. Using data from 19 sites over three years, we found that:
🌡️ Temperature is the main environmental driver of CSFB migration
📅 Time of season plays a crucial role in migration patterns
🌬️ Other factors like wind speed, rainfall, and solar radiation have minimal impact
Our findings will hopefully help farmers better predict CSFB arrival and optimise their pest management strategies, potentially reducing crop losses and improving oilseed rape yields.

Did you catch @tomallenstevens talking on @BBCShropshire this morning with Keith from @HarperAdamsUni about the work being carried out by the @slimersproject?
Listen from 8:26 to learn more about SLIMERS, Slug Sleuths & how to become a Slug Scout...🤩

Yet another neighbour asking for Artificial Grass installer recommendations. I'm still using my trusty graphic to change hearts and minds away from @Shitlawns and towards repairing soils and relaying a real one.

Just had someone ask me “what kind of adult wears pyjamas?!” so can we get a retweet from every adult currently enjoying their pyjamas please?

The @HarperAdamsUni entomology group have had a great time presenting their pest management research at #ICE2022 in Helsinki!
Great to catch up with collaborators from around the world and discuss insect science in-person again.
