AGRITECH - Spoke 2: Crop health, A multidisciplinary system approach to reduce the use of agro-chemicals (2023-2026)
We are responsible of the Work package 2.1 of Spoke 2 of Agritech center supported by the PNRR initiative. In our WP, we aim at developing novel agro-ecological and landscape management strategies to reduce pesticide use across the major Italian cropping systems. SOS - Sustainable control of Philaenus spumarius, vectro of Xylella fastidiosa (2023-2026) In this national project, we aim at understanding the effects of landscape processes on the spatial distribution of the vectors of Xylella fastidiosa. SENTINEL - The responses of Italian mountain ecosystems to climate change (2024-2026) We are partner in the SENTINEL national project where we try to understand the role of biotic interactions in plant range shift dynamics in mountain ecosystems. In particular, we will explore the role of pollinators and herbivores. SAFEGUARD - Safeguarding European wild pollinators (2022-2025) Safeguard will establish empirical research for a systematic multiscale assessment of multiple pressures on pollinators and the context-dependent effectiveness of interventions. Working with our stakeholders, we will provide an improved understanding of the diverse values of European pollinators, and develop and test new approaches using multiple interventions to benefit pollinators, from field to landscape scales across agricultural,natural, and urban systems. The project is funded through the H2020 framework (EU). |
