Horticulturae Webinar
Use of Potential Basic Substances, Including Essential Oils, for the Control of Post-harvest Diseases of Fresh Fruit and of Seed-borne Pathogens
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 BasicS project and Euphresco mission, three presentations on potential basic substances will be made: i) Efficacy of some potential basic substances to control kiwifruit and apple post-harvest fungal diseases, and ii) Use of essential oils to control seed-borne squash.
