Descripción del proyecto
Red temática para la mejora de las prácticas de fumigación
La fumigación es un método muy utilizado en la industria agrícola para combatir las plagas y prevenir las enfermedades de los cultivos. Sin embargo, si no se lleva a cabo con el equipo o la formación adecuados, la fumigación puede causar más daños que beneficios, no solo a los cultivos, sino también al medio ambiente. En este contexto, el equipo del proyecto INNOSETA, financiado con fondos europeos, pretende establecer una red temática innovadora y autosostenible. Esta red facilitará la conexión entre investigadores y agricultores, lo que permitirá mejorar los servicios de asesoramiento, formación, suministro de equipos y mantenimiento relacionados con la fumigación. Además, en el proyecto se pretende fomentar innovaciones novedosas abordando las ineficiencias de los avances científicos. Al proporcionar datos cruciales y formación a los agricultores, el equipo del proyecto pretende aumentar la productividad de los cultivos y reducir al mismo tiempo la contaminación ambiental.
Objetivo
The aim of this network is to set-up a self-sustainable Thematic Network on Spraying Equipment, Training and Advising designed for the effective exchange between researchers, industry, extension services and farming community. This network will link directly applicable research and commercial solutions and grassroots level needs and innovative ideas thoroughly captured, thus contributing to close the research and innovation divide in this area. The proposed network will be organized to cover spraying application needs in the most commonly used crops in Europe: cereals, vegetables, orchards, vineyards and greenhouses organized in seven national innovation hubs linked with international interactive workshops. This Thematic Network will address important and timely issues that are critical to improve crop productivity and reduce environmental impact. These include spraying equipment, technologies and practical methods to estimate and reduce spray drift and environmental contamination; information and procedures on the benefits of following regular inspections of sprayers in use; new spraying equipment and components to increase the efficacy of the application; practical information and advice on the dose expression dilemma especially for orchard and bush crops; calibration and operation procedures using lively videos and developed interactive training and learning material; classification schemes for sprayers and nozzles to enable farmers and pesticide companies to decide on the most suitable to them nozzle/sprayer/technology combination for certain pesticide application; environmental requirements for new sprayers following ISO 16119; and best management practices acquired over the years from several EU projects and research publications.
