- The analysis of their mechanism of action and their implication in the plant Induced Systemic Resistance against fungal pathogens diseases
- The effect of these products in the organoleptic characteristics, sanitary and environmental impact
The main goals are:
- To create a research net between France/Spain that could be able to face the problems that currently are affecting the culture production
- To launch new biocontrol products (bioplaguicides) in the market adapted to Mediterranean crops, with high effectiveness, and also being economically acceptable for the users in order to promote the sustainable agriculture development
