Environmentally friendly biomolecules from agricultural wastes as substitutes of pesticides for plant diseases control (LIFE EVERGREEN)
Start date: Oct 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
Background
Plant diseases caused by bacteria and nematodes often result in sudden and devastating financial losses to farmers, and are extremely difficult to control. Similarly, plant-parasitic nematodes are responsible for heavy crop losses (up to 12%) and the diseases they cause are difficult to control. Traditionally, nematode-related diseases have bee ...

Innovative integrated methodology for the use of decontaminated river sediments in plant nursing and road building (LIFE CLEANSED)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2016,
Background
Sediments â originating in freshwater basins mainly through erosion processes â are drifted to the coast with the river flow. Along the way, they are contaminated by heavy metals, nutrients from pesticides and other organic micro-pollutants. Every year in Europe 130 million m3 of polluted river sediments are dredged and need to be disposed ...

Best practices for agricultural wastes treatment and reuse in the Mediterranean countries (WASTEREUSE)
Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2015,
Background
The production of safe, high quality agricultural products and environmental protection are of public interest. In developed countries, it is important to increase product quality rather than quantity, due to the need to save water and reduce food surplus, and respond to the increasing demand for environmental conservation and evolving consumer ...

Soil protection in Mediterraanean areas through cultivation of new varieties of almond tree (ALMOND PRO-SOIL)
Start date: Oct 1, 2005, End date: Mar 31, 2009,
Background
Nearly 75% of soil in Southern Europe is low on organic matter content and biodiversity. Soil erosion is particularly severe in Mediterranean regions areas, due to the prevalence of steep slopes, dry periods followed by heavy precipitation and, in some cases, inappropriate farming practices. Almond trees are typical of the Mediterranean landsca ...
