AGROSUS – Agroecological strategies for sustainable weed management in key European crops

Coordinator: Adela Maria Sanchez Moreiras

UTAD/CITAB Coordinator: Miguel Ângelo Almeida Pinheiro de Carvalho

AGROSUS aims to identify tools and agroecological strategies to prevent and manage weeds in key European crops, reducing reliance on synthetic herbicides and enhancing biodiversity. The project adopts a multi-actor approach involving farmers, researchers and policymakers, and will be implemented across 11 European biogeographic regions. It includes advanced detection tools, field experiments, assessment of environmental, economic and social impacts, and stakeholder training and knowledge transfer.
