3rd Horticulturae Webinar

Use of Basic Substances and Potential Basic Substances to Control Potato Pathogens and Postharvest Diseases of Papaya and Sour Cherries

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. Together with approved basic substances, there is a list of treatments that could be registered as basic substances. In the meeting, after brief introduction of Euphresco BasicS project and Euphresco mission, three presentations on potential basic substances will be made: i) Electrolised water for the management of postharvest decay of fruit and vegetables, ii) Use of salts to control postharvest decay of citrus, and iii) Pre-postharvest application of salts against gray mold of table grapes.
