BREEDING AND INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES TO REDUCE RELIANCE ON CHEMICAL PESTICIDES IN GRAPEVINE

Descripción del proyecto

Planteamientos de mejora genética y gestión de plagas para aumentar la resiliencia de la viticultura

La estrategia de biodiversidad de la Unión Europea para 2030 pretende preservar la naturaleza e invertir la degradación de los ecosistemas debida al cambio climático. Aunque la viticultura representa un componente esencial de la economía agroindustrial de la Unión Europea (UE), se ve seriamente amenazada por el elevado uso de productos agroquímicos y el mayor riesgo de pérdida de biodiversidad. En este contexto, el equipo del proyecto SHIELD4GRAPE, financiado con fondos europeos, aplicará métodos agroecológicos sostenibles para mejorar la resiliencia de la viticultura frente a las enfermedades causadas por plagas y agravadas por el actual escenario climático. El equipo del proyecto aprovechará la biodiversidad de la vid y utilizará nuevas técnicas de cultivo, mutagénesis y campos de demostración en las principales regiones de la UE para mejorar la eficacia de los protocolos aplicados de gestión integrada de plagas. El equipo de SHIELD4GRAPE apoya a agricultores, investigadores y agentes de las cadenas de valor, promueve estrategias ecológicas y protege los viñedos, los agricultores y los consumidores.

Objetivo

Climate change and environmental degradation have been challenging Europe and the whole world. The EU biodiversity strategy for 2030 is a comprehensive, ambitious and long-term plan to preserve nature and reverse the ecosystem degradation. Grapevine (Vitis spp.) is one of the major fruit crops worldwide, and although viticulture is a leading sector of the EU agro-industrial economy, it is the cropping system with the highest use of agrochemicals and with a high risk of biodiversity loss. SHIELD4GRAPE (S4G) will adopt sustainable agroecological approaches addressed to improve the resilience of the viticultural system against pest diseases in a context of climate change. The S4G consortium brings together the best excellences in the sector; it is multi- and interdisciplinary, collaborative and well representative of different EU biogeographical regions. S4G will i) exploit grapevine biodiversity and identify new resilience traits; ii) implement breeding activities, including new breeding techniques and mutagenesis, iii) introduce safer and more sustainable strategies against pathogens. Demonstration fields will be set up in all the most important EU regions interested in viticulture to improve the efficacy of applied integrated pest management protocols in combination with the new resilient genotypes. S4G aims to support farmers and researchers, to provide advisory services and actors in value chains by establishing an interrelated community that will facilitate exchange of knowledge and of the best practices at different levels and socio-economic resilience. S4G impacts will add value to the wine heritage of the EU regions by reducing chemical treatments (at least by 50%), using strategies that are less hazardous to the environment and favouring beneficial organisms. S4G will contribute to safeguard the territory (particularly those areas with a high concentration of vineyards), human health, farmers, the population living in grape-growing areas and consumers
