1st Horticulturae Webinar

Use of Basic Substances to Manage Grapevine Downy Mildew and Diseases of Horticultural Crops and Tropical Fruit

Basic substances are compounds used in human medicine, or as food ingredient or of common use that find additional interest as products for crop protection. In the EU, they are regulated under Reg. 1107/2009. With the increased demand for alternatives to synthetic pesticides, basic substances are seen as molecules that can complement, and with time also replace, some of the chemical plant protection products currently in use. In the meeting, after brief introduction on Euphresco and EPPO missions, three presentations on basic substances will be made: i) application of chitosan for the management of grapevine downy mildew, ii) update on basic substances specific approval pathway, with an emphasis on horticultural usages and iii) basic substances in the control of Postharvest decay in tropical and subtropical fruits.
