CV Andrea FickeBiography
I am a cereal plant pathologist that is working with leaf diseases in barley and wheat, as well as with leaf and stem diseases in oilseed crops. My main task is to develop integrated pest management (IPM) strategies based on the pathogen’s and the plant’s biology and development. This includes disease epidemiology and host phenology. We are developing mathematical models and disease thresholds to better align the use of fungicides with the actual or predicted need in the field. These decision tools are then accessible to the extension specialists and farmers via our decision support system VIPS (Varsling Innen PlanteSkadegjørere). Our national and international collaborations focuse on sustainable disease management for current and future food demands and includes research on fungicide resistance, precision agriculture, early disease diagnostics and closing the yield gap.

Plant Pest prevention through technology-guided monitoring and site-specific control
One of the ambitious goals of the Farm2Fork strategy is to reduce the use of pesticides in the EU by 50%. The expected increase in plant pests due to climate change, international trade and the intensification of food production systems offsets this target.

Plant Pest Prevention through technology-guided monitoring and site-specific control (PurPest)
The main objective of PurPest is to control serious plant pests during import and to manage them in the field by developing a unique concept enabling pest detection in a timely and non-invasive manner.
