High dilution compounds as a plant defense tool with a low environmental impact
Specific objective of the project is the introduction of high dilution compounds (called PAD) in the organic farming. The high dilution compounds are innovative compounds made by natural raw materials and with a low impact on the environment, that develops the natural resistance of the crops to biological adversity. The overall objectives are: a) To contribute to the plant disease control with tools that have low environmental impact; b) To contribute to the reduction of polluting substances on water and soil; c) To contribute to the adaptation of the agricultural systems to the climate change
The project foresees two preparatory activities: a market survey and an organic regulation survey, in order to understand the potential application area of the PADs. Afterward, the core activities will be implemented: big quantity of PADs will be produced and tested on the ground by treatments delivered on different crops. Finally, results analysis and analysis of water and soil’s quality will be carried out, in order to evaluated the results achieved.
Complementary activities, namely two coaching and communication activities, will be realized, in order to assure sustainability to the project.
The project foresees the following main result: to verify and validate the efficacy of the PADs in plant disease control. This result will be reached by treatments on the ground, applied to a wide range of crops during the three years, and by the analysis of the results. The analysis of the results will take in consideration: plant health, yield, quality of water and soil.
The project meets the needs of the organic farms participating in the GO, providing a specific tool able to defeat specific plant diseases, with low environmental impact and cheaper than the tools they currently use.
Beyond the specific target group, the final target group is composed by all the organic farms in Emilia Romagna region, that could have access to an innovative tool for the plant disease control
