GROW!th optimatisation in horticulture towards big data sensing. Grow!
Abstract
The greenhouse horticulture sector in the border region Flanders - the Netherlands has a very high productivity, is innovative and takes second place as the exporting region in the world. Smart crossovers between greenhouse horticulture with high-tech systems and materials can ensure a strengthened and future-oriented position. The specific cross-over between sensor technology and horticulture offers great opportunities but is still insufficiently used. GROW! changes that.Researcher(s)

Pest Management Tool for tomato and pepper in Europe (PeMaTo-EuroPep).
Abstract
Pest monitoring is the basis for good biological control. In this research project we will develop an ecological monitoring system, whereby the ratio of pest and beneficials in tomat and pepper greenhouses is taken into account in the decision support system. This ratio is indispensable to determine the control strategy.Researcher(s)

A bio-economical model for rodent control in Africa : a regional solution for a local problem ?
Abstract
Mastomys mice are the most important rodent pests in Africa. An existing, but site-restricted bio-economical model will be validated, for the first time under real field conditions and in cooperation with local farmers. Regional variation in population dynamics will be included in the model through the demographic analysis of existing capture-recapture data from 4 countries. The final model will provide a tool to formulate economical control strategies.Researcher(s)
