The proposed project is a feasibility study to develop an innovative biopesticide technology for the control of Cabbage Stem Flea Beetle (CSFB) in Oilseed Rape (OSR). The project is driven by demand from farmers and the OSR market which has decreased by 12.9% from 2018 to 2019, due, in part, to CSFB damage. This is a result of recent restrictions on neonicotinoid-treated seed and the development of Pyrethroid resistance.Preliminary work has been conducted by CAB International (CABI) using a fungal isolate which has shown 100% kill rate against CSFB after 4 days.Project outputs will be the development of biopesticide application methods that can target the CSFB at different stages of development.This project will also focus on end-user engagement through two knowledge transfer workshops. The first workshop will focus on the aim and objectives of the project, and the second will cover dissemination of results and technology adoption. In addition, end-user feedback will be gathered using a market survey to ensure the project is aligned to end-user needs. The business model, economic analysis and route to target will be assessed as part of the market development work package.The project will be led by CHAP, a UK-based research organisation aiming to increase crop productivity through the uptake of new technologies. CHAP will deliver the knowledge exchange workshops and project management. CABI will lead on the formulation development, with inputs from H&T Bioseeds Ltd and Russell Bio Solutions Ltd. The aforementioned industry partners will also lead on market development.The outputs of the project have the potential to have a significantly impact on the UK economy, by helping farms achieve increased yields through enhanced CSFB control. This project will also work towards achieving net zero emissions by 2040 through development of targeted biopesticides application systems, thus decreasing the number of machinery passes, reducing excess packaging due to reduced inputs and ultimately reducing toxic chemical inputs. The wider environmental/societal benefits of this project include less damage to the environment and human/animal health due to reduction of chemical inputs.

该项目是一项可行性研究，旨在开发一种新的生物农药技术来防治油菜甘蓝茎跳甲(CSFB)。该项目是由农民和OSR市场的需求推动的，从2018年到2019年，OSR市场下降了12.9%，部分原因是CSFB的损坏。这是由于最近对新烟碱处理的种子和对拟除虫菊酯抗药性的发展的限制的结果。CABI国际(CABI)已经使用一种真菌分离物进行了初步工作，该分离物在4天后对CSFB显示出100%的杀灭率。项目成果将是开发能够针对CSFB在不同发育阶段的生物杀虫剂应用方法。该项目还将通过两个知识转移研讨会集中于最终用户的参与。第一期讲习班将侧重于该项目的目的和目标，第二期讲习班将涉及成果传播和技术采用。此外，将使用市场调查收集最终用户反馈，以确保项目与最终用户需求保持一致。商业模式、经济分析和实现目标的途径将作为市场开发工作方案的一部分进行评估。该项目将由总部位于英国的研究机构CHAP领导，旨在通过采用新技术来提高作物生产率。CHAP将举办知识交流讲习班和项目管理。CABI将领导配方开发，H&T生物种子有限公司和罗素生物解决方案有限公司提供投入。上述行业合作伙伴也将领导市场开发。该项目的成果有可能对英国经济产生重大影响，通过加强CSFB控制帮助农场实现增产。该项目还将致力于通过开发有针对性的生物农药应用系统，到2040年实现净零排放，从而减少机械通过次数，减少由于投入减少而造成的过度包装，并最终减少有毒化学品投入。该项目的更广泛的环境/社会效益包括减少化学品投入对环境和人类/动物健康的损害。
