@purpest-eu.bsky.social🌲 PurPest was showcased at the 10th Portuguese National Forestry Congress in Coimbra, 5–9 October, bringing its concept for early detection of the pinewood nematode to an event with 350+ forestry stakeholders.
@david1822.bsky.socialReposted by @purpest-eu.bsky.social🌲 Our new review preprint examines pine wilt disease as a #holobiont disorder and proposes microbiome assembly as a potential management target.

@forsaid.euReposted by @purpest-eu.bsky.social⁉️How do you calibrate a sensor that detects pests by smell? 📢 A new open access @purpest-eu.bsky.social paper describes custom permeation tubes and an innovative method to generate ultra-trace gas standards. 👇 Link to the full article below!
@purpest-eu.bsky.social🆕 PurPest paper!
Our sensors detect pests by smell, but faint smells need a reference to be tuned against. ICPEES & Chromatotec built small tubes that release a known, steady trace of a compound into clean air, and a much quicker way to check them.
