A new EU project paves the way for the transfer to Poland and Germany of Danish knowledge and experience with an IT-based decision support system for crop protection. Work is good but twice the work is not twice as good. Therefore it is logical to use the knowledge and experience we already have, instead of having to start from scratch every time. This is the philosophy behind a new EU project that scientists from the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences at Aarhus University will be leading. The project aims to adapt the weed module from the decision support tool Crop Protection Online to the farming systems, biology and language in the northern regions of Poland and Germany, focusing on winter wheat. At the same time, some of the basic functions that are used to quantify the weed control will be expanded through, for example, having Danish, Polish and German participants exchange knowledge and experiences on the interaction between crops, herbicides and pesticides.
