Safely and effectively apply Plant Protection Products (PPP) for IAS control.
Invasive Alien Species (IAS) are often considered the second greatest threat to biodiversity worldwide, after habitat loss. The persistent nature of some of these IAS has led to Plant Protection Products (PPP) being used to prevent the spread of IAS.
Effective management of IAS requires knowledge and skill. Improper use of pesticides can destroy delicate ecosystems, pose a public health risk and even worsen IAS infestations.
