Summary
A winter 2026 practitioner-focused forum organised by AHDB and The Voluntary Initiative to address integrated resistance management in Northern Ireland arable systems. Rather than a primary research publication, the event synthesised current best practice and expert consensus on managing resistance across pests, weeds and diseases whilst maintaining agronomic effectiveness and farm-level economics. Specific outputs and detailed recommendations are not available in the metadata, but the event reflects ongoing industry concern with resistance as a strategic challenge for UK arable farming.
Regional applicability
Directly applicable to Northern Ireland and broader United Kingdom arable practice. As a specialist UK industry event, the findings and recommendations are likely tailored to UK pest, weed and disease populations, regulatory environments, and agronomic conditions.
Key measures
Not specified; likely covered pest/weed/disease resistance trends, agronomic and economic impact of resistance, and best-practice mitigation strategies.
Outcomes reported
An industry-focused event convening arable sector experts to discuss integrated resistance management across pests, weeds and diseases in Northern Ireland. The event likely synthesised current best practice and identified consensus approaches to managing resistance whilst maintaining agronomic effectiveness and farm-level economic sustainability.
