The collaborative laboratory (CoLAB) InnovPlantProtect (InPP) is present in Agroglobal 2021, The CoLAB will also have its own stand and a series of activities and initiatives aimed at publicizing CoLAB and the bio-based services and products it already offers and can offer to different sectors for protecting crops against pests and diseases (see details below).
A Agroglobal 2021 takes place on September 7, 8 and 9, from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., in Valada do Ribatejo (Cartaxo, Santarém). It is considered the major trade fair for the agricultural sector, particularly in terms of Innovation & Development. InPP is at Stand 119:
A InPP programming has:
- Demos and presentations short and interactive presentations by each department of the InPP, with time for dialog with visitors
- Coffee with CoLABsinformal chat with InPP, Food4Sustainability, FeedInov CoLAB, SFCOLAB, MORE e Colab4Food (with the support of Delta Cafés)
- InPP ComVida... – flash happeningswith invited partners and associates (see below)
- Flavors of Elvas in Valada: raffle of Elvas plums among the visitors (with the support of elvense Artisanal Fruit)
- among other surprises...
InPP PROGRAM(currently being updated):
HIGHLIGHTING 7/9, TUESDAY:
12pm: InPP participation in the European Rice Meeting, in the Auditorium of Companhia das Lezírias, with the speech by CEO Pedro Fevereiro “The contribution of CoLAB InnovPlantProtect to the control of pyriculariosis”
- Xylella fastidiosaMeet XfSTOP - a combat strategy being developed by the InPP.
- Want to know a biological control agent?
- InPP ComVida... GREEN-IT Bioresources4Sustainability - institutional presence
- Chestnut trees, education and the Internet of Things: why are we putting sensors in trees?
- Combating cork oak decline: find out what our AI-based remote detection and early warningcan do for your production
- Geolocated pests and diseases, for optimal/unparalleled online management, planning and visualization, right after sampling
HIGHLIGHTING 8/9, WEDNESDAY:
- 10am: Are diseases causing damage? We identify the pathogen and suggested ways of biological control. Do you want a product developed just for you? We do that too!
- Xylella fastidiousMeet XfSTOP - a combat strategy being developed by the InPP.
- Chestnut trees, education and the Internet of Things: why are we putting sensors in trees?
- Cicadas in the vineyard: what can we offer to remote sensing, monitoring and diagnostics in the field pests and diseases
- Risk models: climate at the service of agriculture:
“The clouds that hang in the air / Drawn by the wind / Fetch water from the sea / To water in any weather” *
Pathogens have long since learned the same tune and quickly respond to the weather. We develop and validate models and computer applications for predicting the risk of different diseases based on climate data - O microbiomethe importance of unraveling the secrets of the microbial ecosystem that inhabits soils and plants
From 14:30: InPP ComVida...CEPAAL: olive oil tasting - because only healthy olives produce quality oil without defects
4pm: Coffee with CoLABs: informal conversation with the InPP,Food4Sustainability,FeedInov CoLAB,SFCOLAB,MORE eColab4Food - what a CoLAB is, what unites us and what sets us apart
At 17:30, InPP ComVida... CEPAAL: signing ceremony of a partnership protocol between InPP and the Center for the Study and Promotion of Alentejo Olive Oil
HIGHLIGHTING 9/9, THURSDAY:
From 10am:InPP ComVida... GREEN-IT: phenotyping and plant health/ cut protection + demonstration of phenotyping equipment in the field
- Want to know a biological control agent?
- 11:30 a.m: Presentation of the ‘DIMAP: A digital ecosystem for integrated disease management in pear orchards‘ (SmartAgriHubs), which aims to add a consortium to evaluate the integration of methodologies for Rocha pear disease detection
- We develop genomic prediction based on machine learning, which can accelerate the achievement of more resistant varieties diseases or with higher yield
- I knew that biopesticides innovative and sustainable are only effective thanks to specifically designed formulations? InPP has an entire department dedicated to this discipline - see what we can offer you
- Experience it live and in color: smart hydrogels based on natural polymers to facilitate the application/effectiveness of biological control agents
12pm: InPP ComVida... AHSA - Association of Horticulturists, Fruit Growers and Flower Growers of the Counties of Odemira and Aljezur (subject to confirmation)
3pm: InPP ComVida... Ambitrevo (subject to confirmation)
5pm: InPP ComVida... Syngenta

We are a private non-profit association with 12 founding members, This includes companies, universities, a municipality, an R&D center, a national research institute and producer associations.
Headquartered at INIAV's Elvas Campus and 150 m2 laboratories, we have a team with 38 highly qualified human resources (16 PhD, 17 MSc, 5 undergraduates), with the following skills:
- Molecular Biology of Plants, Diseases and Pests
- Biochemistry and Microbiology
- Biotechnology and Molecular Improvement
- Bioinformatics and Biostatistics
- Formulations and Nano-/Micro-technology
- Product Development
- Geographic Information Systems
- Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence
- Project and Communication Management
OUR MISSION: Developing innovative bio-inspired products and services to protect Mediterranean crops
OUR VISION:Use the latest scientific knowledge to collaborate with stakeholders national and international, to solve the problems posed to Mediterranean agriculture by the emergence of new pests and diseases and the reduced availability of active ingredients
OUR OBJECTIVES - To produce:
- New biopesticides for pests and diseases
- New [plant] varieties resistant to pests and diseases
- New monitoring and diagnostic methods
- New risk analysis models
WHAT WE PRODUCE:
New biopesticides (oligopeptide/ dsRNA-based)
- Produced by GRAS microorganisms or from the phytomicrobiome
- Formulated with biocompatible micro/nanoparticles
