Soil-borne plant-parasitic nematodes are a biosecurity risk for global food production with an estimated annual loss of €110 billion worldwide. Root-knot nematodes (RKN) and potato cyst nematodes (PCN) rank 1 and 2 in the Top 10 of high-impact plant-parasitic nematodes with RKN alone accounting for ~5% of global crop losses. RKN and PCN are A2 quarantine pests or emerging species listed on the EPPO Alert List. The two PCN species are also included in EU Commission implementing regulation 2021/2285. Recent reports document the emergence of new RKN and PCN problems in tomato and potato cropping across Europe and beyond due to two independent drivers: global warming and genetic selection. For decades, non-specific, environmentally harmful agrochemicals have been applied to manage RKN and PCN. The increasing awareness about their negative impact prompted the phasing out of most nematicides. Consequently, there is an urgent need for novel, durable control strategies that enable adequate responses by stakeholders to prevent crop losses in the EU and beyond. NEM-EMERGE will provide a spectrum of sustainable, science-based solutions for both the conventional and organic farming sector based on the principles of IPM, including (1) optimized crop rotations schemes including cover crops, (2) tailored host plant resistances, and (3) optimal use of the native antagonistic potential of soils. Moreover, monitoring and risk assessment tools will be generated to support Plant Health Authorities in decision and policy making. To ensure the adoption and implementation of NEM-EMERGE tools in the sector, a bottom-up co-creation process and multi-actor approach will be used based on stakeholder demands from both the conventional and organic sector. This makes NEM-EMERGE a key driver for the transition to sustainable farming in line with the Farm to Fork Strategy thereby contributing to the challenging targets set by the Green Deal.

土传植物寄生线虫对全球粮食生产构成生物安全风险，估计全球每年造成 1100 亿欧元的损失，根结线虫 (RKN) 和马铃薯胞囊线虫 (PCN) 在前 10 名中排名第一和第二。 - RKN 影响植物寄生线虫约占全球农作物损失的 5%，RKN 和 PCN 属于 A2 检疫害虫或列入名单的新物种。 EPPO 警报列表中还包括欧盟委员会实施 2021/2285 号法规中的两种 PCN 物种。最近的报告记录了由于全球变暖和全球变暖这两个独立因素，欧洲及其他地区的番茄和马铃薯种植中出现了新的 RKN 和 PCN 问题。几十年来，非特异性、对环境有害的农用化学品已被用于管理 RKN 和 PCN，人们对其负面影响的认识不断提高，促使大多数杀线虫剂被逐步淘汰。迫切需要新颖、持久的控制策略，使利益相关者能够做出充分反应，防止欧盟及其他地区的作物损失。NEM-EMERGE 将为传统和有机农业部门提供一系列可持续的、基于科学的解决方案。 IPM 的原则，包括 (1) 优化作物轮作方案，包括覆盖作物，(2) 定制寄主植物抗性，以及 (3) 优化利用土壤的天然拮抗潜力。支持植物卫生当局的决策和政策制定。为了确保 NEM-EMERGE 工具在该行业的采用和实施，将根据传统和有机行业的利益相关者的需求，使用自下而上的共同创建流程和多参与者方法，这使得 NEM-EMERGE 成为关键。根据“从农场到餐桌”战略向可持续农业过渡的驱动力，从而有助于实现绿色协议设定的具有挑战性的目标。
