BIOVEXO Project - Biopesticides to fight Xylella

Biotechnologieforschung

H2020-BBI project in search of innovative biopesticides to combat Xylella. On a mission to save EU olive & almond trees!

Info

The BIOVEXO Project explores innovative biopesticides which target the #Xylella fastidiosa pathogen, which threatens the olive and almond production in the #Mediterranean region. Six candidate biocontrol solutions acting either against Xylella or its vector will be tested within the BIOVEXO Project: two bacterial strains a microbial metabolite two plant extracts entomopathogenic fungus These biopesticides will be tested for use in curative and preventive approaches of Xylella fastidiosa. Following the small-scale on-field validation and improved formulation, the BIOVEXO Project aims to upscale production of best-performing biopesticides. A large pilot scale on-field validation of control strategies for integrated pest management, including a real-life evaluation in two major Xylella outbreak regions in Europe will be conducted. The BIOVEXO biopesticides will be demonstrated in a combined and integrated approach (IPM) on traditional and newly planted olive orchards in Apulia (Italy) and Mallorca (Spain). Additional testing will be done on almond trees. BIOVEXO will provide a mechanistic understanding of the biopesticides’ mode of action to support final product development. Moreover, it will ensure environmental and economic sustainability in preparation for a smooth market entry. The BIOVEXO Project is a Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI-JU) Innovation Action .
