Webinar AdvisoryNetPEST | Oper8

Welcome to an online webinar and workshop – July 16th

Key results and peer-to-peer learning tools for sustainable pest management.

Focus on sharing results from the different projects, share relevant case studies, best practices and novel approaches. Share the different platforms and training modules.

Date: July 16th
Time: 10:00 – 1:00 CEST

The aim of this review is to inform the scientific community about which alternative weed control techniques have been studied more extensively and which remain underexplored, in order to identify knowledge gaps and better guide future research efforts toward promoting the adoption of Integrated Weed Management (IWM).

Join the webinar arranged by: AdvisoryNetPEST, IPM Decisions and Oper8.

2025-06 Demo Spider Ildo IT - Oper8

Demo event how to use SPIDER ILD02 mower for weed control in vineyards

On June 25th, a demonstration event was held as part of the Oper8 project, organized by the team from the University of Pisa (UNIPI), focusing on the use of the SPIDER ILD02 mower for weed control in vineyards.

This radio-controlled machine is designed for mowing in challenging conditions, both on steep slopes and flat terrain. The event concluded with a field demonstration, where the machine was shown in action for weed control in the vineyard inter-row.

On the 17th of June SEGES arranged an AdvisoryNetPEST Cross visit in Denmark

The Cross visit started with a visit at the farm Krannestrup.  About 470 hectars of mainly cereals are cultivated and most of it is consumed by the slaughter pigs on the farm. They are quite concerned about the weeds and they only apply herbicides where it is necessary.

The SEGES team led by Sophie Appel was the host of the AdvisoryNetPEST Cross visit and invited Thomas Börjesson, Agroväst to informed the participants about Oper8.

Showcases Robotic Mechanical Weeder for Row Crops

A demonstration event took place on Tuesday, May 13, in Western Pella, Greece, gathering 32 participants, including farmers, agronomists, researchers, and local stakeholders.

The demonstration event successfully achieved its objectives by highlighting the potential of robotic systems in alternative weed control.
The event was held as part of the Greek Operational Group initiative, focusing on robotic mechanical weeders in row crops. The demonstration showcased the innovative system for mechanical weed control between rows in vegetable crops.
