The aim of the OPTIMA project is to develop innovative solutions to reduce the negative effects from PPP use in the cultivation of fruit (apples and grapes) and vegetables (carrots). A User Group Community is set up during development of the IPM system where stakeholders can participate in technical discussions.
OPTimised Integrated Pest Management for precise detection and control of plant diseases in perennial crops and open-field vegetables
pathogen resistance mechanisms for successful disease control, (3) Enhance and develop innovative precision spraying technologies, (4) Test and evaluate the proposed new IPM elements under field conditions, (5) Assess health, environmental and socioeconomic impacts and risks of the proposed IPM system.Three sample crops are selected: apples, grapes and carrots
Antibiotic residues, antibiotic resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes in manure, soil and plants and the potential exposure of humans
We also work with leeks and carrots that we grow under experimental controlled conditions on fertilized soil that we inoculate with relevant antibiotic concentrations.
