Collaborative project: An electrospun wound protection against Esca of grapevine - subproject 1

Project


Project code: 2815408810
Contract period: 15.05.2012 - 31.12.2015
Budget: 268,073 Euro
Purpose of research: Experimental development

Esca disease of grapevine: development and testing of a new category of plant protection, essentially free of fungicides and environmental friendly. The system shall be based on physically keeping away the pathogens from pruning wounds. The following goals are envisaged: i) Sealing of pruning wounds based on electron spun fibre fleece ii) Development and evaluation of a rapid assay for testing the efficacy of the method in the laboratory and/or the greenhouse. iii) Transfer of the method to the practice; method shall be tested under economical aspects and under field conditions. iv) Starting long term trials in the field.
