At the conference, Cristina Borghesi presented her recent work on “Developing generic sexing systems for insect pest control via SIT programs”, and Marc Schetelig provided an overall presentation of the REACT project in his keynote talk on “Neoclassical approaches for species-specific control of agricultural pest insects”.

 

Join the survey

The REACT project is developing sustainable strategies to protect European fruit and vegetable production from invasive fruit flies by improving eco-friendly control methods like the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT). This survey gathers expert and stakeholder input to shape these solutions and assess their impact.

 

We invite farmers, agricultural experts, policymakers, researchers, and industry representatives to take part in a 30–45 minute survey to share your insights on managing invasive fruit fly threats. Your perspective will help shape effective, sustainable pest control strategies for Europe’s agri-food systems.
