Xylella Fastidiosa Active Containment Through a multidisciplinary-Oriented Research Strategy (XF-ACTORS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2016, End date: Oct 31, 2020,

XF-ACTORS aims to establish a multidisciplinary research program to answer the urgent need to improve prevention, early detection and control of Xylella fastidiosa (Xf). Recently, Xf was introduced into Italy, where it is causing severe damage to olive crops, and in France, where so far it is limited to ornamental plants and some landscape trees. The overall goal of the research program is to asse ...

RISK - Mitigating the threat of invasive alien plants in the EU through pest risk analysis to support the EU Regulation (LIFE IAP)

Start date: Feb 1, 2016, End date: Mar 31, 2018,

...000 alien species present within Europe of which 10-15 % are considered invasive. These species cost the EU around €12 billion per year. To mitigate the on-going threats of IAS to the EU, the European Commission adopted the EU Regulation (No. 1143/2014) on the prevention and management of the introduction and spread of IAS. The Regulation, which came into force on 1 January 2015, aims to addr ...

Strategies to develop effective, innovative and practical approaches to protect major European fruit crops from pests and pathogens (Dropsa)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2018,

The DROPSA consortium will create new knowledge and understanding of the damage and losses of fruit crops resulting from pests and pathogens, with a specific focus on the new and emerging threats due to Drosophila suzukii and quarantine pathogens Pseudomonas syringae, Xanthomonas fragariae and X. arboricola. The project will deliver a cost effective approach that can be widely implemented by the E ...

Seed health: development of seed treatment methods, evidence for seed transmission and assessment of seed health (TESTA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

Healthy seed are key to high crop yields, underpinning European and global food security. A wide range of diseases and pests are carried by seed and as well as spreading and increasing old problems, new problems may be introduced into the European Community countries via this route. There are currently opportunities to improve seed quality control by implementing emerging novel methodologies. The ...

Coordination and Collaboration between reference collections of plant pests and diseases for EU Plant Health Policy (Q-COLLECT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

International trade is increasing tremendously in recent years with a lot of import and export material going in and out of the European Union. Within this context there is also the increasing risk of importing unwanted organisms via this trade. Organisms include plant pests and pathogens, some of which may be on the quarantine list of the European Union. Also climate change may increase the abili ...

EUROPEAN PHYTOSANITARY RESEARCH COORDINATION II (EUPHRESCO)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

The Community Plant Health Regime (CPHR) aims to prevent the introduction, establishment and spread of regulated and quarantine plant pests. These pests pose increasing risks to European agriculture, horticulture, forestry and the environment. This is due to increased globalisation of trade (volume and diversity), but is exacerbated by climate change and EU expansion (increased pathways). In compa ...

Enhancements of Pest Risk Analysis Techniques (PRATIQUE)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2011,

"PRATIQUE (Enhancements of Pest Risk Analysis Techniques) will carry out all the key work listed in the call and address the major challenges for pest risk analysis (PRA) in Europe. This will be achieved through three principal objectives: to assemble the datasets required to construct effective PRAs valid for the whole of the EU, to conduct multi-disciplinary research that enhances the techniques ...
