Early detection of hitchhiking pests requires the identification of strategic entry points via transport. Our INRAE team has developed a framework for achieving this in continental Europe for the Japanese beetle. Human-mediated dispersal ha...

Pupils from class 2D had a good intuition! In fact, the Fungzuka device is being tested by CREA's researchers since summer 2023. The "Fungzuka" is an "Attract-Infest-Release" device that is conceived to bring adult Popillia japonica insects in c...

In recent months, the IPM Popillia Consortium has collaborated with SPOTTERON to create informational and dissemination materials about the invasive Japanese beetle (Popillia japonica), which has been spreading across Europe for several years. R...
Azorean field work between islands
Having field work on different islands of an archipelago is a peculiarity to which the IPM Popillia team of the University of the Azores has got used to. We are currently working with Popillia from São Miguel Island, where we are actually based, and from São Jorge Island.
Last October, our team traveled a two-flight trip in order to perform efficacy and persistence assays of EPNs in some of São Jorge's fields that are being studied since the first expedition. These expeditions help the different aged team to strengthen the good vibes while the science develops and to exchange the experience that is only learned with years of work.
Working in Azorean fields is a nice and calm activity, despite the radical changes in weather that we usually have, we need to be ready for everything! São Jorge offers you really nice views while you are digging for some larvae or spreading some nematodes, you can even spot from there two more islands and the highest mountain of Portugal, which is actually a volcano
