R&D for site-tuned IPM & pest-resilient landscapes
inSilico-IPM is a micro-SME engaged in research, development and consulting. We combine scientific expertise with experience in development of practical solutions to insect-caused problems. We cooperate at regional and local level with academic partners and practitioners on:
- Empiric studies and stochastic simulation of the on-farm pest behaviour and ecology
- Development of IPM tools & methods
- Development of site-specific IPM schemes adjusted to the local farm topography
- Enhancement of insect detection and monitoring through adjustment to the local site topography
- Designing modifications to agro-landscape and farm topography for enhancement of pest-resilience

- On-farm behaviour, ecology & management of insect pests
- Quantitative methods based on ethological analysis
- In silico emulation of insect-driven on-farm processes
- Application of 'virtual farm' concept for IPM schemes for adjustments to the local farm topography
- Development of specialised software for simulation of insect behaviour
- Development of multidisciplinary research and applied projects
