Development of new biostimulant/biofungicide products for eco-agriculture

Description

As the world's population continues to grow, agriculture faces numerous challenges that require innovative, effective and sustainable crop protection solutions to boost productivity while ensuring food security.

In this context, the project aims to develop innovative bioproducts for crop production and crop protection. This will be achieved by optimising and nanoformulating mixtures of compounds recovered from agro-food waste, using green biotechnologies, and testing them in terms of their stability, efficiency and safety in different experimental models.

The newly produced bioproducts will fulfil the requirements and recommendations for organic farming while promoting sustainable practices.
