Electrolyzed Water in Crop Protection (EWCROP)

EWCROP项目将展示一种使用电解水（EW）的创新无农药作物处理方法，以减少高价值作物的病虫害负担，降低各种投入物和能源的使用，提高作物产量。它旨在提供一种新的无污染、减碳和节水机制，以确保作物高产，即使传统农药由于欧盟立法而被撤回或由于病原体抗性而失效。EWCROP将在西红柿、生菜和土豆等高价值园艺作物上展示这些好处，但它的好处最终将扩展到广泛的温室和田间种植作物。该项目将支持整个英国农业食品行业，保护该行业创造的370万个就业岗位和910亿英镑的总产值。该项目的合作伙伴将在电子战生产和输送系统的建设和测试方面处于领先地位，该系统结合了新型电子战生产、喷雾输送系统和科学管理的作物试验和试验。除了建立电子战输送系统外，EWCROP项目还将评估和优化其对多种作物和病原体的功效。

The EWCROP project will demonstrate an innovative, pesticide free crop treatment using electrolysed water (EW) to reduce disease & pest burdens on high value crops, lowering the use of various inputs and energy and improving crop yields. This is designed to provide a new non-polluting, carbon and water reducing mechanism to ensure high crop yields even as traditional pesticides are being withdrawn due to EU legislation or becoming ineffective due to pathogen resistance. EWCROP will demonstrate these benefits in high value horticultural crops such as tomatoes, lettuce and potatoes, but its benefits will ultimately extend to a broad range of glasshouse and field grown crops. The project will support the whole UK agri-food industry, protecting some of the 3.7 million jobs and £91B GVA created by this sector. The project will involve partners who are leaders in building and testing an EW production and delivery system combining novel EW production, spray delivery systems and scientifically managed crop experiments & trials. As well as building the EW delivery system, the EWCROP project will evaluate and optimise its efficacy on a variety of crop and pathogen species.
