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

许多批准的杀虫剂的退出导致了对不留任何残留的替代植物保护产品的寻找。本项目采用一种新的种子处理方法，结合激光处理和新型生物活性化合物两种策略，对种子携带的病原菌进行消毒，提高蔬菜种子的发芽率、成苗率、生长速度和产量。其中两种病原菌是真菌；防风草上的Itersonilia，芹菜上的SepVictoria，第三种细菌，香菜上的假单胞菌。这一成果将有利于蔬菜种子业和蔬菜生产，无论是大田种植还是垂直种植。

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.
