SMART WATER AND SOIL SALINITY MANAGEMENT IN AGRO-WETLANDS (LIFE AGROWETLANDS II)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2016, Date de fin: 30 juin 2020,
Background
Wetlands are highly productive yet fragile ecosystems. They are used as a source of water for irrigation in agriculture, leading to increased pressure on wetlands and salinisation (the accumulation of soluble salts) of wetland soils.
In Mediterranean regions, wetlands are particularly vulnerable to salinisation. First, wetlands are generally l ...

In-field wireless sensor network to predict rice blast (RICE-GUARD)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2016,
The RICE-GUARD monitoring system is a tool designed to assist rice-growers in their rice blast management decisions. Rice blast is the most serious disease of cultivated rice. It is caused by the fungus Magnaporthe grisea (Pyricularia oryzae Cav.), which in favourable conditions can produce yield losses of up to 100 %. The fungus affects all the rice-growing regions of the world, including all ric ...

Novel continuous in-pack decontamination system for fresh produce (SAFE-BAG)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2011, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2014,
In 2008 a WHO report on microbial safety in fresh produce prioritised leafy green vegetables as the highest priority in terms of fresh produce safety from a global perspective. It is critical that effective decontamination steps are in place to ensure consumer protection and confidence in fresh produce. There is thus a requirement to ensure microbiological safety during production of minimally pro ...

Separating eggshell and its membrane to turn eggshell waste into valuable source materials (SHELLBRANE)
Date du début: 1 mai 2012, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2014,
Agricultural waste management is one of the most emerging problems of food processors. The amount of the generated waste as well as the cost of waste disposal is ever increasing across Europe. Egg processors face the problem of the disposal of eggshell waste.According to EC regulations, industrial egg-shell is considered as hazardous waste and it is collected by national authorities. This can indu ...

Smart on-line water salinity measurement network to manage and protect rice fields (SMART-PADDY)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2013,
"Rice is the main crop in wet areas such as river deltas and is an essential tool in Europe in managing protected ecosystems. Irrigation water is a key factor in the production of rice and water quality has a major impact on crop yield as a result of tolerance of rice to factors such as dissolved salts. Rice is more water consuming than many other crops: in continuous flooding cultivation it takes ...

Rapid Biosensor for the Detection of Mycotoxin in Wheat (MycoHunt)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2010, Date de fin: 31 août 2013,
Mycotoxins are naturally occurring secondary metabolites produced by certain moulds/fungi as a result of their organic processes. Unfortunately, most mycotoxins are known to hazardously contaminate crops and consequently animal feeds and animal products, causing significant economic losses associated with their impact on animal and human health, animal productivity and domestic and international t ...

"High-reliability, non-chemical disinfestation system of fruits and vegetables" (CLEANFRUIT)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2008, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2011,
"The agricultural sector is a significant contributor to EU member economies. The European Union is the largest market player, contributing about 20 percent to the total fresh fruit and vegetable trade. Despite extensive production, pest infestation (i.e. all forms of insects) is a major problem in post-harvest processing, including in storage, packing and transportation of agricultural commoditie ...

"Low cost, easy to use Intelligent Irrigation Scheduling System" (WATER-BEE)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2008, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2010,
"Agriculture, the largest industry in the world, is also the biggest threat to the environment. According to the WWF, agriculture wastes 60% or 1,500 trillion litres, of the 2,500 trillion litres of water it uses each year - which is 70% of the world’s accessible water. One of the main culprits is inefficient water irrigation systems. Looking at the European context, 65% of total water consumption ...
