Establishing 'priming' on young tomato plants as a plant protection method in horticulture - FZJ (HortiPrimed)
Project
Project code: 2819NA061
Contract period: 01.01.2022
- 31.12.2024
Budget: 420,560 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: abiotic stress, biological plant protection, horticulture, sustainability, crop production, greenhouse cultivation/protected cultivation
HortiPrimed will investigate and establish procedures involving abiotic stress pre-treatments as an alternative plant protection method for sustainable horticultural crop production. Dosed stress pre-treatments can result in faster and stronger defense reactions to reoccurring stress and, by this improve stress tolerance ('priming'). Such priming effects involve desirable cross-reactions leading to broader tolerance against abiotic and biotic environmental stresses and pathogens. In an interdisciplinary collaboration, HortiPrimed will develop procedures for controlled priming stimulation of juvenile plants to provide sustainable protection during the later production phase in the greenhouse.
