Project description
Bio-based platforms to reduce chemical pesticides in crops
Nowadays, horticultural crop pathogens are a farming challenge faced up by using chemical pesticides, which significantly harm the environment. Therefore, bio-based solutions appear as a suitable answer to reduce the use of synthetic compounds. BioBIVE, an EU-funded project, aims to develop bio-platforms for the controlled release of bioactive agents to prevent plant pathogens in horticultural crops (carrots, strawberry, tomatoes) as an eco-friendly approach. The Consortium is a multidisciplinary group of 16 members, including universities, research centres, large enterprises and SMEs from six European countries. This project focuses on the combination of three release bio-based platforms (bioplastic mulch, biochar, sprayable mulch) and three bioactive agents (basic substances, microorganisms, seaweed derivates) as the starting points for the developing of its final formulation.
Objective
The BioBIVE Consortium is a multidisciplinary 16 members group of universities, research centres and SMEs from 6 different European countries aimed to achieve, as main objective: “the development of bio-based platforms to allow the controlled release of bio-active agents able to control the plant pathogens of horticultural crops helping to decrease the use of chemical pesticides”.
The general objective is based on three different bio-based release platforms (bio-plastic mulch, biochar and sprayable mulch) and three bio-active agents (basic substances, microorganisms and marine phenolic compounds),which will be the starting point to achieve the final best formulation. The functionality of these bio-based delivery systems that use substances from natural sources against crop pathogens instead of chemical pesticides must be evaluated in laboratory, greenhouse and environmental conditions, using diverse cropping systems (e.g. carrots, strawberries, tomatoes) and techniques, which are part of the BioBIVE Partners expertise.
