RESEARCH AND USE OF RESISTANT SOURCES TO NEMATODES MELOIDOGYNE spp. IN ORDER TO CREATE PRUNUS ROOTSTOCKS ALLOWING A REDUCTION OF SOIL TREATMENTS AND A CROP DIVERSIFICATION IN MEDITERRANEAN AREAS

Objective

This project involves 4 Mediterranean participants (FR, SP, PT) and includes all the European teams specialised in fruit-tree nematodes and Prunus stock breeding. Its objective is to acquire a better knowledge of the reaction of available or breeding stocks to RKN for their integrated control and to select and use sources of wide and strong resistance to obtain new rootstocks for Prunus.
