Achievements of the WG ICOC

The emphasis of the working group has always been the networking of scientists working towards improved integrated pest and disease management of oilseeds, particularly the oilseed rape crop. Collaborative field experiments have been conducted on specific questions and joint projects established. Among these are included four large international projects funded by the European Union. These projects were conceived, are coordinated and executed mainly by members of the working group. These EU-Projects are:

Further information about the projects can be found on their respective websites.

Furthermore there have been 3 books published which can be related to activities among IOBC WG-ICOC members. Special issues of the journal of Pest Management Science and European Journal of Plant Pathology has been also compiled by WG-ICOC members.


In 2004, we decided to establish a Working Group webpage, which is intended to announce meetings, meeting contributions, reports of past meetings and news.
The URL http://wwwuser.gwdg.de/~instphyt/app/koopmann/eng-dateien/iobc2004-bulletin.htm has been changed with the relaunch of the web page in 2007 to:
