📸PestSpace on Tour: Behind the Scenes in Lithuania
24 August 2026
Next stop on our PestSpace tour: Lithuania! Our camera visited the Vytautas Magnus University (VMU) Agriculture Academy in Kaunas.
Highlights from the visit:
- Plant Health Check: We joined our researchers in the field to inspect crops and discuss pest monitoring.
- Campus & Labs: We toured the facilities supporting our shared research across the Baltic region.
- Field Trials: We checked out the experimental plots testing winter wheat varieties for disease resistance.
- Crop Maze: Aerial views showed a field carved into the shape of Lithuania with the “VMU ŽŪA” emblem!
A huge thank you to the VMU team for hosting us!
