Improving sEed QUality In the Post-plant protection Product Era (EQUIPPE)

许多批准的农药被撤回，导致人们寻找无残留的替代植物保护产品。该项目采用一种新的种子处理方法，结合两种策略，激光处理和一种新的生物活性化合物，消毒蔬菜种子的种子携带的病原体，提高发芽率，幼苗建立，生长速度和产量。其中两种病原体是真菌;防风草上的Itersonilia，芹菜上的Septoria，第三种是细菌，香菜上的Pseudomonas。研究结果将有利于蔬菜种子产业和蔬菜生产的田间种植和垂直农业。

The withdrawal of many approved pesticides has led to the search for alternative plant protection products which leave no residue. This project employs a novel approach to seed treatment combining two strategies, laser treatment and a novel bioactive compound, to disinfect vegetable seeds of seed-borne pathogens, improve germination, seedling establishment, growth rate and yield. Two of the pathogens are fungi; _Itersonilia_ on Parsnip, _Septoria_ on Celery, the third a bacteria, _Pseudomonas_ on Coriander. The outcome would benefit the vegetable seed industry and vegetable production both field grown and in vertical farming.
