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 ...

Anti-infective environmental friendly molecules against plant pathogenic bacteria for reducing Cu (Life After-Cu)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
Background
The control of bacterial diseases in plants is largely based on the use of copper salts, which are some of the few chemicals still allowed in organic agriculture. However, copper derivatives do not degrade in the environment and their tendency to accumulate in soil and water poses a serious threat to a wide range of organisms and micro-organism ...
