Welcome to the IOBC Working Group on
Integrated Control in Oilseed Crops
The Working Group INTEGRATED CONTROL in OILSEED CROPS (ICOC) is one of 20 Working Groups (March 2013) of the West
Palaeartic Regional Section (WPRS) of the International Organisation
for Biological and Integrated Control (IOBC).
IOBC/WPRS encourages collaboration in promoting feasible and environmentally
safe methods of pest and pathogen control.
IOBC/WPRS fosters research and practical application, organises
meetings, symposia, offers training and information, especially
of biological methods of control, but also of all methods, including
chemicals, within an integrated pest management context. Major
activities include development and standardisation of testing methods
for effects of pesticides on beneficial species, pest and disease
damage assessment, modelling in relation to pest and disease management,
and the practical implementation of biological and integrated controls
for pests and diseases of particular crops.
These 20 working groups are:
- Pesticides and beneficial organisms
- Integrated protection of fruit crops
- Insect pathogens and entomoparasitic nematodes
- Integrated control in oilseed crops
- Pheromones and other semio-chemicals in integrated production
- Integrated control of plant pathogens
- Integrated control of mite pests
- Integrated control in protected crops, temperate climate
- Integrated control in protected crops, mediterranean climate
- Multitrophic interactions in soil
- Integrated protection of stored products
- Integrated protection of field vegetables
- Integrated protection in viticulture
- Integrated protection in oak forest
- Integrated protection of olive crops
- Integrated protection of citrus crops
- Induced resistance in plants against insects and diseases
- GMO's in integrated plant production
- Landscape management for functional biodiversity
- Benefits and risks of exotic biological control agents
