The first and ultimate bio-solution to Europe’s mould and rot fungi!

Project description

A green solution for the growing problem of fungal infections

Fungal diseases pose major threats to staple and horticultural crops, wiping out more than 125 million tonnes each year. Disease control is based mainly on breeding resistant crop varieties along with the use of chemical fungicides but these chemicals decrease soil fertility and lower crop yields. The EU-funded BIOAVENGER project will develop a natural, environmentally-friendly method that treats emerging and resistant fungal mould and rot infections in trees, vines and horticultural crops. The BioAvenger is applied into the soil like fertiliser. The new product will be marketed to retailers and distributors of pesticide products, as well as horticultural farmers and arborists.
