In a recent interview, Maria Torné, who leads the testing and development of new alternative plant protection products (PPPs) for NOVATERRA, discusses the development of bio-solutions for grapevine and olive oil production’s diseases and pests, and outlines the challenges that need to be tackled if we want the bio-solutions to be implemented efficiently by farmers.
When developing bio-solutions NOVATERRA’s work is centered around three pillars:
(1) developing effective bio-solutions;
(2) applying bio-solutions at the right time;
(3) Integrating them into appropriate programmes and IPM systems.
For more details on the development of bio-solutions and the success criteria, please watch Maria Torne’s interview in the video below.
