About
Project Idea(s)
-
Combined solutions for disease management in several key or emerged crops : genetic resistance, biocontrol products (against pathogens, insects or weeds) and early detection of pathogens.
-
Development of an efficient Decision Support Tool (DST) for farmers combining climatic data and pathogen detection
Expertise and potential contributions
✔ Early detection of pathogens and development of pest management tools
-
Specific detection of ~40 pathogenic fungi, bacteria or viruses, including spore trapping
-
Molecular and biochemical tools
-
Analysis of samples in various matrices
-
Monitoring in confined spaces and open fields
✔ Improving knowledge of biocontrol products
-
Evaluation of product efficacy
-
Deciphering their mode of action
-
Identification of factors influencing product efficiency
-
Assessment of their compatibility with conventional pesticides
-
Environmental impact study
✔ Innovative tolerant plant materials towards pests and diseases
-
Inter- and intra-specific crosses for resistance trait introgression
-
Development of molecular markers to tag genes of pest resistances
-
Precise plant-by-plant phenotyping toward diseases
