Having optimum crop pollination is essential to ensure maximum yield and quality is achieved. It is therefore essential to know about the present pollination and if needed, how to improve it. One of the most effective actions is to establish wildflower strips.
One of the main focusses of the BEESPOKE project is to provide guidance on what to sow and how to establish and manage the habitat.
With this webinar we would like to share our knowledge how to best promote the pollination of crops by wild pollinators. Our international project partners will discuss the importance of pollination, introduce our upcoming web application which predicts the pollination of different crops and how to successfully establish your own wildflower strips.
