Welcome to InnovPlantProtect
InnovPlantProtect (InPP) is a collaborative laboratory (CoLab), a public-private non-profit association, created to develop biobased innovative solutions to protect crops from pests and diseases, and provide monitoring and diagnosis services, thus contributing to the sustainability of agricultural systems. Its main focus is Mediterranean crops, specially their protection against emergent pests and diseases associated with climate change, whose harmful effects are already visible in many countries, including Portugal.
The Science Born from the Vine: How Biosolutions Could Protect the Wine of the Future
In viticulture, every small decision has an impact — on the soil, on the health of the plants, and on the quality of the grapes that form the basis of the wine that ends up on our tables. And the future of viticulture could depend on a single biosolution. Or on a...
